NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Tennessee Department of Health has confirmed nine cases of COVID-19, also known as the new coronavirus, in the state.

On Wednesday, the Metro Public Health Department has announced the second presumptive case of COVID-19 in Davidson County.

The health department says they were notified of the new presumptive case on Wednesday, bringing the county's total number of presumptive cases to two. The first was announced on March 8.

Health officials say the presumptive case is an adult male, has had mild symptoms, and remains isolated at home. They’re investigating the source of exposure and will be contacting those who are identified as close contacts.

“Receiving confirmation of an additional case was expected and we are prepared to quickly investigate and provide guidance to those determined to be close contacts to prevent potential spread to others,” said Dr. Michael Caldwell, Director of Health for Nashville/Davidson County. “Our guidance to the community remains the same; everyone should continue to take steps to protect themselves and others by following routine health precautions.”
