New Hampshire Coronavirus Patient Breaks Quarantine to Attend Dartmouth Event
A New Hampshire hospital employee diagnosed with coronavirus broke quarantine to attend an event on Feb. 28, “despite having been directed to self-isolate,” the state’s Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has confirmed in a press release. The DHHS has since issued an official order of isolation for the man.
The unidentified man — who had traveled to Italy, according to state epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan — went to an invite-only social event at Dartmouth Business School in White River Junction, Vermont, on Friday.
A second man is believed to have contracted the virus from the first patient (though it has not been confirmed if transmission occurred at the event in question) and is currently isolated at his home in Grafton county, N.H.. Health officials in New Hampshire believe there could be more cases, and have advised all attendees at the event to self-quarantine for 14 days. As of March 4, there are no confirmed COVID-19 cases in Vermont.
