'There is no reason for undue anxiety—the general risk remains low in New York,' Cuomo said.
The Rhode Island Department of Health on Sunday also confirmed their state's first presumptive positive case of the COVID-19 disease. The infected patient, who's in their 40s, is currently being treated in hospital after visiting Italy mid-last month, according to a press release.
"The Rhode Island Department of Health has been preparing for weeks to ensure that we have a structure in place to, to the best of our ability, limit or prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Rhode Island. We fully anticipated having a first case of COVID-19," Dr. Nicole Alexander-Scott said."We are not seeing widespread community transmission in Rhode Island, and the general level of risk for Rhode Islanders is still low.
The two cases come one day after the first U.S. death—a man in his 50s—was confirmed this weekend in Washington state, where the virus is likely to have been spreading undetected for weeks. Officials are working to ensure that those who have had direct contact with the deceased individual will begin a 14-day quarantine.Tourists wearing masks walk through Union Square in New York City on February 28, 2020, amid fears of the coronavirus and a global pandemic.
