COVID-19 as of today (03-10-20):

[QUICK NOTE: Today has even less global news than I would like, but it’s because I spent the past 5 hours verifying case counts for each state and territory in the US. I realized that multiple states were reporting their data in different ways, and I had not been catching all of their updates. Going forward, I will only report states and territories with updates (ex. - if a state has 0 cases today and 0 cases tomorrow and no other updates regarding COVID-19, you won’t see it here), but I wanted to set the record straight first. Tomorrow’s update will be chock-full of global news and new research articles.]

[Some Quick Definitions for Commonly Used Terms, skip ‘em if ya know ‘em:

Community Spread – Illness with an unknown source. This typically means that there are more cases in the community that have not been detected. May also be called community acquired or local transmission.

Cumulative Confirmed Case Fatality Rate – The total number of patients who were confirmed to have COVID-19 and died, divided by the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, from the beginning of the outbreak to today.

Line Listing: A list of all the cases in an outbreak and their details.

Patient Under Investigation (PUI) – A person who is showing one or more COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing) who has not yet received test results.

Presumptive Positive – The first test back for a PUI is positive, but another test is still needed to confirm this. Confirmed means that two tests have shown that the case is positive.]

The Channel Islands (archipelago in the English Channel, not off the coast of California), Guernsey (also in the English Channel), and countries Brunei, Burkina Faso, and Panama all report their first COVID-19 cases. Today is the ninth day in a row that broke a record for the most new cases reported since the start of the outbreak (at least 4,125 new cases globally). The newest countries to report community spread are Poland, North Macedonia, and Pakistan. The US jumped from 754 reported cases at 10:13 pm PST yesterday to at least 1,037 as of 10:33 pm PST today – that’s 283 new cases reported in the past 24 hours. [1, 2]

A new commentary in the Lancet states that as the COVID-19 pandemic (in their words, not yet the WHO’s) progresses, governments won’t be able to both minimize deaths AND minimize economic impacts. They mention that a recent study of 17 patients with COVID-19 shows that its viral load (how much of the virus is in your body; higher loads mean it’s easier to spread to other people when you sneeze, cough, etc.) seems to be highest right as the incubation period ends (when you have no symptoms) and your symptoms start; if this is true, it would mean that people may be able to transmit the virus for 1-2 days before they develop symptoms, which several peer-reviewed anecdotal reports have also suggested. However, more research with much larger groups here is needed, as 17 is a very low number to base this assumption on – that’s just 0.01% of all confirmed cases so far. [3, 4, 5, 6]

Due to COVID-19 concerns, at least 14 higher education institutions in California, 3 in Connecticut, 1 in the District of Columbia, 1 in Florida, 2 in Indiana, 1 in Iowa, 1 in Kentucky, 10 in Maryland, 8 in Massachusetts, 1 in Nebraska, 7 in New Jersey, 16 in New York, 1 in North Carolina, 14 in Ohio, 4 in Pennsylvania, 2 in Tennessee, 1 in Texas, 1 in Vermont, 7 in Washington State, and 1 in Wisconsin have either cancelled all in-person classes or are in the process of doing so. Many institutions have spring break around this time, so some are waiting for that to start before rolling out more online classes. [7]

Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson states that COVID-19 is “an epidemic. There's no denying that now…People you know will get sick. Some may die. This is real.” [NOTE: While his message is truthful, he uses an incorrect term to refer to the illness, one that has been used to justify xenophobic insults and attacks since the beginning of the outbreak – I will use the valid scientific term, COVID-19.] [8]

Here is a round-up of all US states and territories for today:

Alaska has not confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. They currently have 16 patients under investigation awaiting initial test results. [AK]

Alabama has not confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. They have tested 10 patients so far, all of which have come back negative as of March 9. [AL]

American Samoa does not appear to have confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. Its Director of Health stated yesterday that travelers from other countries will be required to stay in Hawaii for 14 days and obtain medical clearance before coming to the territory. The territory has also banned cruise ships from its ports. [AS]

Arizona has one new presumptive positive case, bringing its total case count to 6 (4 presumptive and 2 confirmed). The last time I reported 5 cases was on March 7; the state updated its line listing sometime between then and now, so I’m unsure of the date it was added. Of the 6 current cases, 1 is travel-related and 5 are from person-to-person contact. [AZ]

Arkansas has not confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. They currently have 3 patients under investigation awaiting initial test results. [AR]

California now reports 157 COVID-19 cases, up from 133 yesterday. There are now 24 related to federal repatriation flights (no change), 50 travel-related (6 new), 30 person-to-person (2 new), 29 community spread (10 new), and 24 under investigation (6 new). Of the 157 cases, 2 are under the age of 18, 91 are between the ages of 18 and 64, 60 are 65 or older, and 4 are unknown. The state also announces its third COVID-19 death, this one in a woman in her 90s with underlying health conditions who lived in an assisted living facility in Sacramento County. [CA1, CA2]

Colorado announces 5 new presumptive positive COVID-19 cases, bringing its total case count to 18 (17 positive, 1 indeterminate treated as a positive). The state’s governor announces a state of emergency, stating “Our top priority is protecting public health and our vulnerable populations which is why we are taking swift bold action. Our administration's response will be guided by the science and lessons learned from the countries and states that this virus arrived in first.” [CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4]

Connecticut has not confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. They do not appear to report the number of patients under investigation being tested. [CT]

Delaware has not confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. They currently have 3 patients under investigation awaiting initial test results. [DE]

The District of Columbia has two new presumptive positive cases, bringing its total to 4. The last time I reported 2 cases was on March 8; the district updated its line listing sometime between then and now, so I’m unsure of the date(s) they were added. DC Health announced that all visitors to Christ Church, Georgetown Episcopal on February 24th, and between February 28th and March 3rd, could have been exposed to COVID-19. DC Health recommends that anyone who visited Christ Church, Georgetown Episcopal on those dates self-quarantine for 14 days from the last time they visited the church. [DC1, DC2]

Florida announces 9 new presumptive positive cases, bringing its total case count to 28. Seven of these new cases are related to international travel. One is a Georgia resident; the Georgia Department of Public Health is investigating her source of exposure. The last new case has been identified as one of three Florida cases tied to Metro Cruise Services, a company that operates at Port Everglades. Florida’s Department of Health urges anyone with fever, cough and/or shortness of breath who have recently travelled through Port Everglades to immediately contact their County Health Department or health care provider and self-isolate for 14 days. It also recommends that any employees of Metro Cruise Services at Port Everglades with any association to these cases to self-quarantine. [FL1, FL2, FL3, FL4]

Georgia has 10 new presumptive cases and 1 new confirmed case, bringing its total case count to 22 (16 presumptive and 6 confirmed). The last time I reported 11 cases was on March 8; the state updated its line listing sometime between then and now, so I’m unsure of the date(s) they were added. The patients’ sources of exposure and conditions are not stated. [GA]

While Guam does not appear to have confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date, the territory states that it is closely monitoring the outbreak in the Philippines, the country closest to it. [GU]

Hawaii announces that it will be conducting about 200 COVID-19 tests per week under a new statewide surveillance testing program to help them identify cases of community spread. Of about 400 weekly anticipated samples collected for influenza testing from patients with respiratory symptoms, 200 will be randomly selected and also tested for COVID-19. The state currently has 2 presumptive positive cases, both of which I have previously reported. [HI1, HI2]

Idaho has not confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. They currently have initiated tests for 51 patients under investigation; as the state does not report negative or pending tests, it is unclear whether all of these tests have come back negative or if some are still pending. [ID]

Illinois announces 8 new COVID-19 cases, bringing its total case count to 19. Public health officials state that at least one case acquired the virus in the community, but more will probably soon be identified. [IL]

Indiana announces 2 new presumptive positive cases, bringing its total case count to 6. Two of their current cases are in the hospital; the other four are in self-isolation. [IN1, IN2]

Iowa announces 5 new presumptive positive cases, bringing its total case count to 13. Each of the 5 new cases is between 61 and 80 years old, and each one was exposed on the river cruise on the Nile. All 5 are in self-isolation and are recovering at home. [IA]

Kansas has not identified any new COVID-19 cases since its first presumptive positive case on March 7. They currently have 13 patients under investigation who are awaiting initial test results. [KS]

Kentucky reports 2 new cases, bringing its total case count to 8. It does not give information beyond the line listing of cases. [KY]

Louisiana announces 5 more presumptive positive cases, bringing its total case count to 6. While they do not provide information on the source of exposure for the five new cases, they state that the first case appears to be due to community spread. [LA1, LA2]

Maine has not confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. They currently have 5 patients under investigation awaiting initial test results. They announced yesterday that its public health lab is now testing for COVID-19. On Friday, it completed the protocols required of it before it was allowed to begin testing. The lab has capacity to test 100 to 200 patients per day, which it states currently exceeds the demand for testing in the state. [ME1, ME2]

Maryland has 6 new COVID-19 cases, bringing its total case count to 9. The last time I reported 3 cases was on March 5; the state updated its line listing sometime between then and now, so I’m unsure of the date(s) they were added. The patients’ sources of exposure and conditions are not stated. [MD]

Massachusetts announces 51 new COVID-19 cases, bringing its total case count to 92 (91 presumptive, 1 confirmed). 70 of the 92 cases were exposed at the BioGen conference. The state’s governor announces a state of emergency to support the state’s response to the outbreak. Employees of the state’s Executive Branch are strongly discouraged from any international travel, and all nonessential meetings are either cancelled or converted to virtual events for the foreseeable future. [MA1, MA2]

Michigan has its first two presumptive positive cases. The last time I reported that it did not yet have any positive cases was on March 5; the state updated its line listing sometime between then and now, so I’m unsure of the date(s) they were added. The patients’ sources of exposure and conditions are not stated. [MI]

Minnesota announces its third presumptive positive case in a patient who was likely exposed through contact with international travelers. The patient developed symptoms on February 28 but did not seek healthcare until March 9. The patient, who is in his or her 30s, is currently hospitalized in critical condition. [MN]

Mississippi has not confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. They do not appear to report the number of patients under investigation being tested. [MS]

Missouri has not identified any new COVID-19 cases since its first presumptive positive case on March 7. They do not appear to report the number of patients under investigation being tested. [MO]

Montana has not confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. They have tested 21 patients as of March 10; all 21 results have come back negative. No tests are currently pending. [MT]

Nebraska has not identified any new COVID-19 cases since its first 3 presumptive positive cases on March 8. They currently have 16 patients under investigation who are awaiting test results; the state reports these as “cases undergoing further testing at the Nebraska Public Health Lab,” so it is not clear whether these 16 patients are presumptive positive or are being tested for the first time, even though they are reported differently. [NE]

Nevada has not confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. The state has tested 14 individuals to date, all of which were found to be negative for the disease. The state does not appear to report the number of patients under investigation being tested. It is now waiting for testing samples to be collected for 49 currently asymptomatic passengers from the Grand Princess cruise and is then arranging for their transport from California to Nevada via a secure flight provided by the federal government. Each passenger will be required to sign a Declaration of Self-Quarantine upon arrival to the state, and then will be transported to their homes via secure, isolated ground transportation arranged for by their local health departments. It is not clear if Nevada is waiting for the test results to come back before allowing their transport back to the state, or if it is just waiting for the tests to be initiated. [NV1, NV2]

New Hampshire announces 1 new presumptive positive case, bringing its total case count to 5. This person was a contact of a known case in a different state. The patient is self-isolated at home, and his household contacts are self-quarantined. [NH]

New Jersey announces its first death today in a 69-year-old man who frequently traveled to New York. The state’s health commissioner states that they now have 15 cases. The last time I reported 2 cases was on March 6; the state does not have a line listing of cases on its site and has not published press releases announcing these cases, so I’m unsure of the date(s) they were added. The state’s governor declared a state of emergency yesterday to ramp up the state’s efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19. [NJ1, NJ2]

New Mexico has not confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. While they report having had 87 negative tests to date, they do not appear to report patients under investigation with pending tests. The state’s Department of Public Health sends out a health care survey team to conduct onsite visits at each of the state’s 269 assisted living facilities. Staff will focus on providing COVID-19 related infection control guidance and written visitor protocols, and will address questions or concerns from staff, family and residents. [NM1, NM2]

New York announces 31 new COVID-19 cases, bringing its total case count to 173. The state’s governor lays out new emergency measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 in New Rochelle, the area with the most cases to date (108). Schools, houses of worship and other large gathering facilities in New Rochelle’s highest impacted area will be closed from March 12-25. The US National Guard has been deployed to assist with cleaning and other community support efforts. A satellite testing facility is being set up in New Rochelle. The governor states, “We are moving from containment to mitigation, and because much of the transmission of this disease tends to happen on a geographic basis, we are attacking this hotspot at the source. As the number of positive cases rises, I am urging all New Yorkers to remember the bottom line: we talk about all this stuff to keep the public informed — not to incite fear — and if you are not a member of the vulnerable population then there is no reason for excess anxiety.” [NY]

North Carolina’s governor announces a state of emergency, which activates the Emergency Operations Center to help agencies coordinate from one location and makes it easier to purchase needed medical supplies, protect consumers from price gouging, and increase county health departments’ access to state funds. The state currently has a total case count of 7 (no new cases identified today). [NC1, NC2]

North Dakota has not confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. They currently have 2 patients under investigation who are awaiting initial test results. [ND]

While the Northern Mariana Islands do not appear to have confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date, the US House of Representatives has introduced a $100 million bill to assist the territory’s government operations as it has recently had to implement austerity measures due to the outbreak’s impact on its economy. [NMI]

Ohio has not identified any new COVID-19 cases since its first 3 presumptive positive cases on March 9. They currently have 15 patients under investigation who are awaiting initial test results. [OH]

Oklahoma now has 2 COVID-19 cases (1 presumptive and 1 confirmed). The last time I reported 1 case was on March 7; the state updated its line listing sometime between then and now, so I’m unsure of the date it was added. The patients’ sources of exposure and conditions are not stated. [OK]

Oregon announces 1 new presumptive positive case, bringing its total case count to 15. This new case is considered to be from community spread and is being treated at Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The Oregon Department of Human Services releases guidance on how to limit COVID-19 exposure at long-term care facilities, including restricting visits to only essential visitors, screening all visitors for illness (and documenting those screenings), limiting community outings, and facilitating virtual visits to support residents’ access to socialization. [OR1, OR2]

Pennsylvania announces 1 new presumptive positive case, bringing its total case count to 12. Yesterday I reported that there were 10 in the state; 1 of the new cases was not announced. This new case announced today is self-isolated and recovering at home; the person’s source of exposure is not mentioned. The state’s Department of Health outlines the difference between quarantine and isolation, stating that quarantine is used to separate and restrict a person’s movement after exposure to a sick person to see if that person becomes ill, and isolation is used to separate sick people from the general population so that they do not expose others. [PA1, PA2]

Puerto Rico has not identified any new COVID-19 cases since its first presumptive positive case on March 8. They do not appear to report the number of patients under investigation awaiting initial test results. [PR]

Rhode Island announces two new presumptive positive cases, bringing its total case count to 5. One of the new cases had recent travel to Egypt; the other’s source of exposure is currently under investigation. Both are self-isolated and recovering at home. The one with the unknown exposure source is a healthcare worker at one of Rhode Island’s hospitals. [RI]

South Carolina announces two more presumptive positive cases, bringing its total case count to 9 (7 presumptive and 2 confirmed). Both are household contacts of another case and both are currently hospitalized. [SC]

South Dakota has 5 COVID-19 cases; these were not announced via a press release so I did not initially report on them. The patients’ sources of exposure and conditions are not stated. [SD]

Tennessee announces three new presumptive positive cases, bringing its total case count to 7. The source of exposure and current condition is not reported for these new cases. Going forward, the state will report the cases’ county of residence, but not their age or gender. [TN1, TN2]

Texas announced yesterday that it is investigating a new presumptive positive case with a history of recent travel to California, bringing its total case count to 13. The patient is self-isolated and recovering at home. [TX1, TX2]

The US Virgin Islands do not appear to have confirmed any COVID-19 cases to date. It is unclear how many patients under investigation are currently awaiting initial test results. [USVI]

Utah announces its second presumptive positive case in a patient with extensive domestic and international travel. The case, who is older than 60, is hospitalized in serious but stable condition. [UT]

Vermont has not identified any new COVID-19 cases since its first presumptive positive case on March 7. It has tested 40 patients, of which all were found to be negative for COVID-19; however, the state does not appear to report the number of tests pending for patients under investigation. [VT]

Virginia announces three new presumptive positive cases, bringing its total case count to 8. The patients’ source of exposure and conditions are not stated. [VA]

Washington announces 105 new COVID-19 cases, bringing its total case count to 267 (with 24 deaths); the bulk of the cases are in King County (190) and Snohomish County (54). It has had 2,175 negative tests to date. [WA]
