ST. LOUIS COUNTY — The family of the first confirmed coronavirus patient in the St. Louis area is showing no symptoms of the virus, and the father tested negative, their lawyer said Friday.

All are well nine days after the 20-year-old woman first arrived home from Italy, a COVID-19 hotspot, lawyer Neil Bruntrager said. He said county health officials check in with them twice a day.

Bruntrager said that after repeated requests, officials approved a coronavirus test for the woman’s father, and he received the negative results Friday afternoon.

Although exhausted after the trip, the 20-year-old woman woke with a headache and a mild sore throat but no fever on Thursday morning, March 5. She was tested the next day.

State officials learned of her presumptive positive test result Saturday, March 7, at 1 p.m. County officials notified the woman and her mother in a phone call that began 5½ hours later. By that time, the woman’s younger sister had attended classes at Villa Duchesne in Frontenac on Thursday and Friday. Her father had run errands and taken his younger daughter to a father-daughter dance on Saturday for Villa Duchesne at the Ritz-Carlton in Clayton.
