WESTAMPTON — Burlington County health officials are warning of the possible community exposure of coronavirus from the latest patient to test positive.

The new case involves a 60-year-old Chesterfield man who officials revealed had traveled through "multiple locations" in the county and beyond before testing positive for the virus. Officials say he was exposed to COVID-19 by an infected patient.

"We are making this announcement so that individuals who have visited these locations can be more alert for symptoms consistent with coronavirus disease," officials said in a statement.

The department released a list of the man’s travels from March 6 through Tuesday:

March 6 from 9 p.m. – 10 p.m.: 1 Republik (formerly Molly McGuire) 26 Ridge Road, North Arlington, Bergen County

March 7 from 8 p.m.-9:30 p.m.: Wildflowers Too Restaurant 255 NJ-156, Yardville, Mercer County

Health officials said residents who suspect they may have been exposed and who experience mild symptoms but are stable should remain home and self-isolate until they are fever free for at least 72 hours.

Residents experiencing more severe systems or need further medical evaluation, should contact their primary care physician or emergency room. They should not travel to either unannounced.

Burlington County has three presumed positive cases. The other two cases involve a Riverton couple who tested positive for the virus after traveling to Italy. Both have remained isolated at home since shortly after their return.
