Wisconsin Health officials have confirmed that a person in Wood County tested positive for novel coronavirus after returning from a cruise.

The Wood County health officer says that person is from the south Wood County area. She wouldn't specify which city or town, only saying the cruise they went on traveled in the Caribbean region.

The person remains in isolation and is doing well, cooperating with the county, Wisconsin Department of Health and the CDC. The Wood County Department of Health did address the number of people in Wisconsin the infected person may have been in contact with.

"In Wisconsin, specifically, we're looking at a dozen, maybe a few more than that, several from outside the Wood County area. I'm not aware of any testing on those individuals at this point, since they were exposed to an active case, we do want them to self quarantine for 14 days from their last exposure to this individual. If they develop symptoms during that time, we certainly want them to call their health care provider. Not just show up, that's very important to call the health care provider," said Sue Kunferman, health officer for the Wood County Health Department.
