One of the two now-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Florida is in Sarasota. The patient has been identified as a 60-year-old Manatee County man. He experienced breathing problems late last month and checked himself into Doctors Hospital of Sarasota.
At that time, he was not tested for the coronavirus.
But a couple of days ago, the Centers for Disease Control changed its guidance to include testing patients who are exhibiting pneumonia-like symptoms with unknown origins.
So, the man at Doctors Hospital was given the test – and he tested positive. He has since been placed in isolation.
