“It was somewhat inevitable that there was going to be a positive COVID-19 case in our state, and the first one happened to be an employee who works at our hospitals and is a resident of the state of New York, where we believe the person was infected,” said Kerry Eaton, chief operating officer of the Nuvance Health group, which includes both hospitals. “We are really working very hard back at the hospital. We have teams at Norwalk Hospital and Danbury Hospital currently working to make sure we identify any and all persons who need to be notified of their potential exposure to this particular person.”
