State health officials have advised a hospital in Clinton, Missouri, to stop admitting new patients after a person hospitalized there later tested positive for the novel coronavirus at another facility.
The case, which is one of the two announced by Missouri Gov. Mike Parson Friday, is the first “presumptive positive” in Henry County and one of four in the state thus far. The test results have been sent to the Centers for Disease Control for confirmation.
In a news release the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services said the patient was hospitalized at Golden Valley Hospital before being transferred on March 8 to another facility where they were tested for COVID-19.
