OC Health Care Agency Confirms First Case of Novel Coronavirus in Orange County, California
(Santa Ana, CA) – The OC Health Care Agency’s (HCA) Communicable Disease Control Division received confirmation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this evening that an Orange County, California case has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
The case, a traveler from Wuhan, China, has been in contact with the HCA and was provided guidance in order to reduce exposure to the public while awaiting laboratory confirmation from the CDC. The individual has now been transported to a local hospital and is in isolation in good condition.
In consultation with the CDC and the California Department of Public Health, the HCA is following up directly with all individuals who have had close contact with the case and are at risk of infection. The HCA will be monitoring any close contacts and assure that proper evaluation and care is provided if they become ill. The CDC’s guidance indicates that people who have casual contact with a case (in the same grocery store or movie theater) are at minimal risk of developing infection. There is no evidence that person-to-person transmission has occurred in Orange County. The current risk of local transmission remains low. No additional details about the case will be released at this time.
Members of the media, please know that Dr. Nichole Quick, County Health Officer will be available tomorrow, January 26th for interviews after 11 a.m. Please email JGood@ochca.com with your preferred time, and indicate if you are requesting a telephone or in-person interview.

The last place I would expect a virus to be is in California.
Especially Magic’s HIV virus
Let the infected stay at the asshole’s mansion.
I believe you’d have to be retarded to believe people flying into the US from China won’t be carrying a virus that they don’t know they’ve been exposed to. Hell go to the grocery store and stand in line. Then get a cold. Then wonder how did I get that? Geez!
There’s hope for America than.
Is that because of the natural inoculations that come from walking on poop?
Happy Lunar New Year!
How about closing the freakin borders!!?
Trump can do it, it’s an epidemic at this point
Just a matter of time before it spreads around the US. I’m in Vegas which has a huge amount of Chinese tourists...so once it hits LA I expect it up here as well. Time to order a few biomasks just in case. Those surgical masks everyone is wearing won’t do much since its transmitted via the eyes as well.
And now coronavirus can check out but never leave.
Goggles, as well.
Just saying.
(Really)
Magic stand for My A** got infected coach!
Coronavirus: 56 dead and 1,975 infected as Canada reports 1st case

Bats were one of the animals sold in that food market in Wuhan, by the way.
If you aren’t following this virus outbreak VERY CLOSELY you should be.
Cibola!
Bumpty-bump!
FOX is way behind on updating the numbers. The “official” number of dead hasn’t changed but the number of cases is currently 2,055. 8 hours ago, it was 1,771.
The vast majority are those the Chinese are admitting to but more and more cases are being reported outside of China as time goes on.
Target rich environment. Migrant labor camps full of illegals, and homeless tent cities. Constant influx of new people from Mexico. Then there’s the big sign visible from LAX runway: Infections Welcome! Kawabunga, dude!
I find it really hard to believe that they would put 56 million people on lockdown if only 2,055 had this virus.
I’m right there with ya on that! That’s why I had official in quotation marks. Based on what I’ve been watching all night regarding all the city lockdowns and such, there’s no way we’re getting true numbers from the Chinese.
