Syracuse, N.Y. — The Madison County Health Department has reported the county’s first confirmed case of the novel coronavirus.

The county received its first positive test earlier today, according to an announcement on the county’s Facebook page. The individual has been quarantined and the county is contacting people who may have come in close contact with the person.

This case is separate from the Colgate University student who tested positive for coronavirus this week, in which a student who lived off-campus tested positive after moving back to their home state.

“We are closely monitoring the situation,” Madison County Public Health Director Eric Faisst said in the statement. “We understand that this will heighten the concern of many of our residents. Please stay vigilant about social distancing and personal hygiene, please do not go out to public places unless you have to and contact your doctor if you are not feeling well.”
