Excerpts from the CT article:

Yale New Haven Health’s chief nursing executive, Beth Beckman, has tested positive and has self-isolated at home, according to Borgstrom.

“Beth is doing well and remains engaged in our daily operations,” Borgstrom said.

In addition, Yale New Haven Health’s chief clinical officer, Dr. Thomas Balcezak, has also been exposed the virus.



So. my home state of CT is reporting a total of twenty cases, while three different hospitals have doctors and/or staff who worked there testing positive.
