A person who has tested positive for the coronavirus disease is hospitalized in intensive care in a northeastern Indiana hospital.

The adult, who had a recent history of out-of-state travel, is at Parkview Noble Hospital in Kendallville, about 45 minutes north of Fort Wayne, health officials said. Test samples, which came back positive from the Indiana State Department of Health laboratory, will be confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

On March 1 and March 5, the patient visited two Parkview Physicians Group – FirstCare Walk-In clinics for treatment, the one in Kendallville and one in Fort Wayne.

Both clinics closed Monday for deep cleaning, and employees of both locations have been told to stay home and were being screened today, according to a news release from Parkview Health.

Health officials have urged people who believe they may be sick with the virus to call their health care provider before visiting a doctor's office so preparations can be made.

People who visited either clinic and feel they may have been exposed should monitor themselves for 14 days after the potential exposure for signs of the virus, health officials said. They advised these individuals to take their temperature twice daily and contact a health care provider if they have a fever greater than 100.4 degrees and symptoms of a cough or shortness of breath.

The individual is the fourth to test positive for the virus in Indiana.

Two of the others, an adult in Hendricks County and one in Marion County, had traveled to the same conference in Boston, from which more than 25 attendees have tested positive for COVID-19.

A Hendricks County youth has also tested positive for the disease.

None of the people in Central Indiana with COVID-9 has been hospitalized.
