The physician practices with the Maple Medical Group in White Plains.
It was not immediately clear whether these cases were included in the 18 cases that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said existed in Westchester or whether these were new cases.
Dr. Richard B. Frimer, speaking for the Maple Medical Group that has offices at 143 and 170 Maple Avenue and 30 Davis Ave., said that the practice was notifying its patients and has closed its 30 Davis Ave. and 143 Maple Ave. locations location for sanitizing.

I see 19 doctors listed in their practice, so that’s not only a) a lotof patients who likely were seen and touched by the doctor over the last couple of weeks, but also a lot of other patients who have been in and out of their facilities and of course other medical workers there, etc.

There are now eight total active cases of COVID-19 in Massachusetts, the illness caused by coronavirus, the state’s Department of Public Health reported Friday morning, up from the three cases reported Thursday evening.
Three of the individuals who tested positive are Boston residents, Mayor Mary Walsh said Friday.
Of those cases, one is confirmed: The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tested a Boston man who had traveled to Wuhan, China. He is doing well but remains in self-isolation, according to Boston Mayor Marty Walsh during a Friday press conference.
The other seven cases are “presumptive positives,” which were identified by state testing. Those results were forwarded to the CDC for final confirmation. Of those, three of the people are from Suffolk County, three are from Norfolk County, and one is from Middlesex county

This Lawyer is one heck of a super spreader. Wonder if he has some kind of special mutation..or if everyone is going to spread like this
They’ve closed their offices for sanitizing.
* And the tests? Who, where, and what gets sanitizing afterwards?
* Safety assurances? We aren’t signing anything. Period.
