Did he commute on the ( small, tight, enclosed) train?

...9:53 a.m. Latest US patient in ‘serious condition,’ New York City mayor says

The latest American to be diagnosed with the novel coronavirus is receiving treatment at a New York City hospital where he remains “in serious condition,” according to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

The patient received the diagnosis on Monday after a test conducted by the New York City Public Health Laboratory came back positive, de Blasio said.

“City and state disease detectives are working closely to identify close contacts and the appropriate next steps,” the mayor said in a statement Tuesday. “With the results confirmed within a number of hours, we were immediately able to take next steps to stop the spread of this virus. We have said from the beginning that it is likely we will see more positive cases of the Coronavirus. We are working closely with our state and federal partners to ensure we are taking the highest precautions to keep New Yorkers safe.”

The man is a resident of New Rochelle and works as a lawyer at a law firm in New York City, according to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The patient was initially admitted to Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville and later transferred to a New York City hospital.

It’s unknown whether he has recently used any public transportation

Not to worry. I just heard on the news that they will be cleaning their trains more often.

Once every three days - and the turnstiles too!
