Coronavirus Roundup: Head of Port Authority Rick Cotton has coronavirus

[NYPOST] The head of the Port Authority ‐ who has been visiting local airports and other transit facilities ‐ has the coronavirus, Gov. Cuomo said Monday. Cuomo said he himself "could have been in contact" with infected PA Executive Director Rick Cotton but hasn’t been tested because he’s an "improbable positive," meaning he isn’t likely to have the virus.

[NYPOST] The father and sister of a 20-year-old woman presumed to be the first person in Missouri to have the coronavirus disregarded a quarantine and went to a school function, according to reports.

The St. Louis County woman returned from Italy on March 2, arriving in Chicago and then taking an Amtrak train to St. Louis two days later after staying with a friend, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The woman, who had been studying abroad, called local health authorities when she started to feel ill, then stayed at home and did not have any contact with anyone before being instructed to be tested at a hospital, the news outlet reported.

Dr. Randall Williams, head of the state Department of Health and Senior Services, said he received a phone call about the positive test result at 1 p.m. Saturday, KMOV reported.
