The confirmed case, a student at UMass Boston in his 20s, contracted the disease in early February after returning from a trip to Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the viral outbreak. According to DPH officials, he is still recovering from the disease. In order to be cleared and officially recovered, the patient must test negative for the virus twice. Samples have already been submitted to both the state lab and the CDC as the patient continues in quarantine waiting for those results.
