First coronavirus case in D.C. is from community spread, officials say
Public health officials in Washington, D.C., have confirmed the city's first known case of coronavirus, Mayor Muriel Bowser told reporters Saturday night.
The infected man is a D.C. resident in his 50s who started exhibiting symptoms in late February. He was admitted to a D.C. hospital on March 5. Because the man had no history of international travel and no close contacts with anyone known to have coronavirus, the case is considered an example of community spread.
President Trump, who is at his private estate in Florida this weekend, told reporters Saturday night he is “not concerned at all” about coronavirus getting closer to the White House.
The public health lab at the D.C. Department of Forensic Sciences reported the "presumptive positive" test late this afternoon, Bowser said. The sample will now be sent to the CDC for confirmation.

You know that's not true. Trump's a germophobe.
