The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised its travel precautions for China to its highest of three levels: 'Warning'
A handful of patients in two states who were being tested for coronavirus received good news today: their samples came back negative.
Test results from Michigan’s first three patients who were under investigation all were deemed to be negative, Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, MDHHS chief medical executive and chief deputy for health, announced on Monday. A specimen from a fourth possible case, from Washtenaw County, was sent to the CDC today for testing.
“We encourage healthcare providers to remain vigilant in screening patients for symptoms and travel history, and to contact their local health departments immediately if they see a potential case," said Dr. Khaldun in a news release. In addition, the Virginia Department of Health received test results for two patients under investigation results and they were negative -- they don't have the novel coronavirus. Test results for a third patient are expected later this week.
