BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — KGET has learned from a trusted source that the patient who tested positive for COVID-19 in Kern County is a woman who traveled from New York.

Because she is not a resident in Kern County, Public Health is not considering this a Kern County case.

The woman is recovering under quarantine in a Bakersfield home.

The five people she’s come into contact in her household are also in self-isolation.

Public Health says they are tracing her steps, seeing who else she’s come into contact with and where she has visited.

Public Health would not disclose her age or where she was tested.
