ReplyDeleteThere are now 9 tested, 7 negative, 2 pending as of March 23, 2020. There will generally always be some pending as the tests are ongoing and take a few days for results.
DeleteI got this from paragraph 2; Two were emergency admissions and one hospitalization. All but one have been negative for COVID-19 with that remaining one test pending results.
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I asked. This doesn't appear to be updated as it still says the same information as it did on Friday.
