at least one person being tested for the virus in Travis County did recently travel to an area where new coronavirus cases are prevalent. While Escott said he could not say where the person traveled to, citing confidentiality guidelines, he did say local physicians were concerned and requested the CDC allow them to test the patient for the virus.

Why can't we know where the person traveled? Why do we have to ask pretty please to test? They better get the test results before SXSW. The news story before the CV update was all smiles for SXSW not being cancelled. FYI, SXSW (the huge week long music festival with other countries coming in) and Travis Co. is Austin, TX.
