Upon further investigation, it is learned that the 26 year old female patient’s symptoms began with slight fever, cough and sore throat. The 3 year old female pediatric patient symptoms began with high fever, runny nose and cough.
The family had recently been on a vacation with her deployed husband to Northern Italy. They arrived back in Tennessee on February 26, 2020. The route home from Northern Italy included flights to Charlotte NC, Philadelphia PA, Rome and bus to Milan, Italy. Both patients visited numerous locations for three days while feeling sick before presenting at the ED on day three.
No diagnostic testing has been performed on either patient and facility does not want to separate the pediatric patient from parent.
