Whatcom medics given a clean bill of health, so far, in fight against coronavirus
More than five weeks after Whatcom County reported its first resident had tested positive for COVID-19, the county has yet to confirm any of its medics have contracted the new coronavirus.
In fact, Whatcom County Emergency Medical Services Manager Mike Hilley told The Bellingham Herald only 10 to 15 have even been tested for the respiratory illness so far.
“Nobody’s really been sick,” Hilley said Thursday, April 16. “I think we’ve had ... one guy who had a bad flu and another that had strep throat. Most of the tests were pretty early in, and they had cold symptoms and got tested, and they all came back negative.”
Hilley definitely doesn’t want to tempt fate, as he knows emergency medical responders around the country have not been as fortunate.
