A third Connecticut resident has tested positive for COVID-19, state officials said Wednesday, an elderly man from New Canaan who is the first to contract the disease with no known exposure to the coronavirus.
Dr. Matthew Cartter, the state epidemiologist, said the individual, who lives at home, was the first community-acquired case of COVID-19 in the state. Previous cases appear to have stemmed from interactions with others outside Connecticut. He was being treated at Norwalk Hospital.
Imagine being in LA if it is isolated.
No place to be.
