She was still having symptoms when she returned from her trip, although they had decreased. But she had a surgery planned, so she went to her health care provider to ask whether she could still have surgery. The health care provider did what all providers are now doing in the community, Pour said, and tested her for influenza and a panel of other respiratory illnesses. When those came back negative, the provider did a test for COVID-19, which came back positive Friday.

County health officials discussed the results late Friday with state health officials and decided that they wanted to confirm the results. The confirming results came back Saturday afternoon.

Investigators now have a complete history of the woman’s movements and have identified all of her close contacts. She did not participate in any large events. Her condition is good, and her symptoms are mild.

Pour said both the 31-year-old man and the 56-year-old man also have mild symptoms.

“Most of our cases have mild symptoms, and that’s a good thing,” she said.
