The city received confirmation from the FDOH in Volusia County that the man never arrived in Daytona Beach and never participated in any Bike Week activities in Volusia County

A New York resident who traveled to St. Johns County, with plans to attend Bike Week, was one of three new coronavirus cases announced Wednesday night by the Florida Department of Health.

The 63-year-old man, who is currently in isolation in St. Johns County, will remain isolated until cleared by public health officials, according to the FDOH.

Susan Cerbone, city of Daytona Beach communications manager, said on Thursday afternoon that the city received confirmation from the FDOH in Volusia County that the man never arrived in Daytona Beach and never participated in any Bike Week activities in Volusia County.

"We are continuing to coordinate with our local government, tourism and health officials, as well as the business community, and are monitoring developments in regard to COVID-19," Cerbone said in an emailed statement. "We are reminding residents and visitors to follow the established precautionary measures for reducing risk of COVID-19."

Gina Mangus, spokeswoman for Flagler Hospital in St. Johns County, said they were notified by the FDOH Wednesday night that a patient of the hospital has tested positive for coronavirus.

"The patient is appropriately isolated and in good condition," Mangus said in an emailed statement. "Those who came in contact with the patient have been identified and notified."

"More than anything, we want the community to know that we are here for you, your families and loved ones; we will continue to keep you updated and remain vigilant in our safety and preparedness efforts."

Mangus said while they are currently testing 50 employees, who will need to self-quarantine for 14 days, she does not expect there to be a significant number of positive results.

There are still only two cases in Volusia County so far, a 66-year-old woman and a 60-year-old Volusia County who both recently traveled outside of the country and are currently under quarantine.

How the virus is spread/who is notified

According to the FDOH, when a person tests positive for the virus they are asked where they have been since showing symptoms.

Then they are asked to disclose the names of everyone they had close contact with since showing symptoms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines close contact as being within 6 feet of a person for at least six minutes.

The FDOH will then reach out to all of the people listed and tell them to self-quarantine for 14 days. They will need to take their temperature twice a day and report any changes. At no point will the FDOH disclose the name of the infected person.

If the infected person was at a public meeting the FDOH will try to identify who was at the meeting by looking for photos and other resources.
