Arizona health officials said on Tuesday that a second person tested positive for coronavirus and the results are being sent for confirmation to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

The Arizona Department of Health Services updated its online coronavirus information page just after 9 a.m. with the finding.

The case is listed as "presumptive positive," which means a test for coronavirus sent to a public health laboratory came back positive and the CDC will conduct further testing to confirm the diagnosis, officials said.

The patient is a Maricopa County man in his 20s. He is not hospitalized and is recovering at home, according to a press release by the Maricopa County Department of Public Health.

The man had contact with a person who tested positive after traveling to an area outside Arizona where the virus had spread, county officials said.

"With the case counts increasing around the country, it is no surprise that we have another case here in Maricopa County," Rebecca Sunenshine, medical director for disease control for the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, wrote in a statement. "The good news is that this individual is in stable condition and is expected to have a full recovery, as are most people who become infected with this disease."

Federal officials have faced criticism over the slow roll-out of testing, which may have delayed diagnoses and allowed the virus to spread farther. The CDC said all state and local public health labs and qualified private labs should have the tests they need by the end of this week.

Gov. Doug Ducey said the patient is cooperating with public health officials to contain the spread.

"Health services is working with the individual to figure out everyone that they came into contact with so there can be medical suggestions for them as well," Ducey told reporters Tuesday.

The state is able to test 450 specimens a day, more than is currently needed, and is working to expand its testing capacity, Ducey said.

The state public health lab began testing for COVID-19 on Monday and detected the second case the same day, officials said.

Officials have since interviewed close contacts of the man and recommended they monitor for symptoms and quarantine themselves for 14 days based on the risk of exposure.

“As far as risk to the public, we are still doing the case investigation of this individual, however, because we know when and where this individual was exposed, this does not represent community spread,” Sunenshine said.

The state Health Department's website said 32 people have been tested, six cases are pending and 24 cases have been ruled out.

There has been one confirmed case of coronavirus in Arizona.

That patient was a man in his 20s who is part of the Arizona State University community and had been traveling in Wuhan, China, prior to his diagnosis in Maricopa County.

He was released from isolation in February, 26 days after receiving the diagnosis.
