The Kent City Health Department has been notified of a positive coronavirus test for a 69-year-old Kent man.

The Health Department said the man, who wasn’t named in the press release due to HIPPA, fits into the high-risk category for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

The city said the case has no relation to the Kent firefighter who was diagnosed last week. The city said the firefighter has since recovered.

The health department is working to identify close contacts of the patient, who has been hospitalized.

The Ohio Department of Health had reported four total confirmed cases of coronavirus in Portage County as of 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough and difficulty breathing. Symptoms appear within 14 days of exposure. The Centers for Disease Control said COVID-19 spreads through respitory droplets produced with an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Those at a high risk for COVID-19 are those over 60 with a chronic illness or a weakened immune system.

To prevent further spread of the disease, please wash your hands frequently with soap and water, cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, avoid touching your face with unwashed hands, stay home if you are ill, clean and disinfect all high-touch surfaces daily, and follow the social distancing and shelter in place rules Ohio has set in place.
