NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Vanderbilt University Medical Center said a healthcare provider has tested positive for COVID-19, also known as the new coronavirus.

The hospital says this is the first presumptive positive COVID-19 patient at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The individual is recovering at home.

"As the largest private employer of Middle Tennesseans, approaching 30,000 people, it was inevitable someone from VUMC would test positive. There are a small number of additional employees undergoing testing," VUMC said in a statement. "We are continuing to work closely with State and Metro Health officials and are following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to keep our employees and the Middle Tennessee community well informed and safe."

On Wednesday, Metro Public Health Department officials announced the second presumptive positive case of COVID-19 in Davidson County.
