A patient with symptoms of COVID-19, or novel coronavirus, was recently tested at Emerson Hospital.
According to Dr. Barry Kitch, chief medical officer at Emerson, the patient self-identified and said they had recently traveled abroad.
“The patient called the hospital in advance, so we were able to take all precautions when the patient came to the ED to be tested,” Kitch said in a statement. “The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) results indicate that the patient has tested presumptive positive and the specimen was sent to the Centers for Disease Control for confirmation.”
