GREENSBORO — The Guilford County Department of Public Health has confirmed one positive case of coronavirus in Guilford County.

An employee at Syngenta Crop Protection's Greensboro business center tested positive, said Paul Minehart, who oversees Syngenta's corporate communications. The company has 650 employees at that site, he said.

The employee traveled to Orlando before showing symptoms of the virus, according to county officials.

The infected patient is doing well, health officials said.

“Since we have this first confirmed case, we anticipate additional positive testing," said Iulia Vann, Guilford County's interim public health director.

After the patient started showing symptoms, he or she immediately went into self-isolation upon recommendation from a primary care physician, according to a news release.

"Others that were in contact with this individual at our site have been identified and are in self-isolation with regular medical contact," Minehart said. "We are continuing to monitor the situation closely as our priority is our employees’ health."
