Revision as of 14:45, 9 March 2020

Timeline

January

January 25: The CDC confirmed a third case in Orange County, California.[citation needed] The person, a man in his 50s, was released from the hospital on February 1 in good condition to in-home isolation.[1]

January 31: The CDC confirmed the seventh case in a man in Santa Clara County, California, who had recently traveled to Wuhan.[2] The man recovered at home and was released from in-home isolation on February 20.[3]

February

February 2: The CDC confirmed the ninth case in a woman in Santa Clara County, California, who had recently traveled to Wuhan. This case is unrelated to the first case in Santa Clara.[4] On the same day, the CDC reported the tenth and eleventh cases in San Benito County, California, including the second instance of human-to-human transmission.[5]

March

March 1

Two cases were reported in Alameda and Solano Counties, in health care workers at the NorthBay VacaValley Hospital. The workers were exposed to the patient in the case reported February 26 in Solano County.[6] In Santa Clara County, three more cases were reported, bringing the total number of cases in the county to seven. A fifth case was reported in a woman with chronic health conditions who is hospitalized; a sixth and seventh cases were reported in a couple who are both hospitalized, and who had recently traveled to Egypt.[7]

March 2

The Santa Clara County Public Health Department reported two new cases, bringing the total to nine. Both were household contacts of previously confirmed cases and were in home isolation.[8] In Placer County, a healthcare worker who had close contact with a confirmed case in Solano County's NorthBay VacaValley Hospital was presumptively tested positive.[9] In Sonoma County, a resident was presumptively tested positive after returning from a cruise ship that departed San Francisco to Mexico.[10] In San Mateo County, an adult resident was presumptively tested positive; they were placed in isolation in a hospital. The source of exposure was reported as unknown.[10]

March 3

12 new cases were reported. Public health officials in Santa Clara County, California confirmed two new cases of unknown origin there.[11] Public health officials in Contra Costa County confirmed a new case of unknown origin. The new case was hospitalized.[12] Public health officials in Los Angeles County confirmed six new cases.[13][14][15][16] Public health officials in Berkeley confirmed the city's first case of coronavirus in an individual who had recently traveled to Italy. The new case is isolated at home.[17] Two new cases were confirmed in Orange County: one in a man in his 60s and another in a woman in her 30s. Both had recently traveled to foreign countries impacted by coronavirus.[18]

March 4

California public health officials in Placer County reported a second confirmed case in an "older adult" resident with underlying health conditions who was aboard the Princess Cruises cruise ship Grand Princess on a cruise to Mexico that departed San Francisco on February 11 and returned on February 21.[19] Although initial reports indicated that the new case had been hospitalized in "critically ill" condition, public health officials in Placer County subsequently reported the new case's death later on the same day. This marked the eleventh death in the United States attributable to coronavirus, the first death in the United States attributable to coronavirus outside Washington state, and the first death in California attributable to coronavirus.[20][21] The source of the new case's infection appears to be the same as that of a resident of Sonoma County who tested positive on March 2 and who was also aboard the Grand Princess cruise ship on the same dates.[22][23] Consequently, Princess Cruises, the owner and operator of the Grand Princess cruise ship, working with the CDC, the state of California, and public health officials in San Francisco, terminated a port call in Ensenada, Mexico planned for March 5 and ordered the cruise ship to return to San Francisco over concerns about the potential for an outbreak of coronavirus aboard the cruise ship. Sixty-two passengers still aboard the Grand Princess who may have made contact with the Placer County case that died earlier in the day were quarantined aboard the cruise ship at the request of the CDC.[24] In addition, eleven passengers and ten crew members were exhibiting potential symptoms of coronavirus, and the Grand Princess was ordered by the state of California to remain offshore while test kits were being airlifted to the cruise ship.[25][26][27][28][29][30] Public health officials in Santa Clara County confirmed three new cases.[31]

March 5

The San Francisco Department of Public Health reported two community spread cases within the city.[32] The two cases are unrelated and both are hospitalized at different hospitals in San Francisco. One patient is a man in his 90s with underlying health conditions, and the second patient is a woman in her 40s. Neither of the patients recently traveled nor made contact with other coronavirus patients.[33] Six additional cases of coronavirus were reported in Santa Clara County,[34] while six AT&T retail stores in San Diego were closed after an employee at one of the stores tested positive for coronavirus.[35][36] In addition, public health officials in Sunnyvale reported that the death of a 72-year-old man found unresponsive in his home was under investigation as a possible second death in California attributable to coronavirus after they subsequently learned from one of the man's family members that the man had been aboard the same Grand Princess cruise to Mexico linked to two other coronavirus cases in Sonoma and Placer Counties.[37][38][39]

March 6

  • Alameda County: Officials confirmed the county's second case, a former passenger of the Grand Princess.[40]
  • Contra Costa County: Three new cases were reported, with two being former passengers on the Grand Princess cruise ship.[41]

  • San Francisco: Six presumptive positive cases were reported. All were reported as isolated at home in good condition. Each patient had contact with a confirmed case.[49]
  • Elk Grove: An Elk Grove family tested positive for COVID-19 and was quarantined, resulting in the closure of Elk Grove Unified School District for the week of March 7-13, including student activities and events. In a letter to families, the school announced no students or employees had tested positive.[50]
  • Madera County: Officials confirmed the county's first coronavirus case from a person who had been aboard the Grand Princess. Their spouse, whom they were with on the cruise, was also being monitored. Both were taken to the Madera Community Hospital and were reported as in monitored isolation.[51]
  • Fresno County: Two people returning from the Grand Princess were quarantined and tested for the virus, with one person testing positive, making them the county's first confirmed case.[52]

March 8

  • Contra Costa County reported 5 new cases. Four of the patients did not travel or have known contact with a coronavirus case and are currently being treated at hospitals around the county. The fifth person had contact with a previous case and is being isolated at home. This brings the total number of confirmed cases in the county to nine.[53]

The state of emergency lasted for seven days.[56]
