Patient contracted virus when visiting a nursing home in Seatle area that had a coronavirus outbreak. Patient flew back to RDU on Feb. 22nd. My son was in Seattle on business and also flew back to RDU on Feb 22nd too. He's trying to get info from the airlines.
He and his wife have 2 small children. His wife is Vietnamese, and I've been warning them not to fly abroad any time soon for fear of virus, but looks like that may have not mattered.
The patient has been quarantined in his own home in Wake County.
