A man in his 50s from Lancaster County - https://lincoln.ne.gov/city/mayor/media/2020/032420.htm . Contact investigations are underway to identify people who came into close contact to help prevent further spread. All identified close contacts will self-quarantine and be actively monitored twice daily by public health officials for fever and respiratory symptoms. The state total as of tonight is 64. As Nebraska remains vigilant in its efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in Nebraska, state and local health departments are testing and publicly reporting their cases. In the event of a discrepancy between DHHS cases and cases reported by local public health officials, data reported by the local health department should be considered the most up to date. People who are concerned they may have COVID-19 should self-isolate and call ahead to their primary care provider to be screened over the phone. Certain people are at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19 including older adults and people who have serious chronic medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes and lung disease, according to the CDC. http://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/Additional-COVID-19-Cases-Identified-in-Three-Nebraska-Counties.aspx

An outbreak of a new coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19) that began in Wuhan, China has been developing since December 2019. This outbreak now includes hundreds of thousands of cases globally and has become widespread in a number of countries. Update: As COVID-19 spreads globally and nationally, while the majority of cases identified in Hawaii have been introduced into our state by travelers, especially Hawaii residents, we all need to practice social distancing (i.e., maintaining at least 6 ft distance or 2 arm’s length from others) as well as other important infection prevention measures (e.g., wash hands, clean surfaces regularly) to prevent widespread community transmission. We are saddened to report now the death of one in our community. Social distancing can reduce the spread of disease, prevent our healthcare system from being overburdened, and protect the most vulnerable members in our community from infection. If you get sick, please stay home—get rest and drink plenty of fluids. If you are older or have an underlying medical condition and become ill, call your doctor. https://health.hawaii.gov/docd/advisories/novel-coronavirus-2019/

Labs assign those cases to a county. Counties or the Department of Health then determine the appropriate county of jurisdiction. Those don’t always match initially. We’re working to reduce the “unassigned” number to 0. Contact the local health department for county specific information. Note on the deaths: Some deaths may be reported by health care providers, medical examiners/coroners, local health departments, or others before they are included in the statewide count. It takes longer for the state to announce deaths because they are often reported first to the local health department and then to us. Note on the number of infections: Public health experts agree that the true number of people who have been infected with COVID-19 in Washington greatly exceeds the number of COVID-19 infections that have been laboratory-confirmed. It is very difficult to know exactly how many people in Washington have been infected to date since most people with COVID-19 experience mild illness and the ability to get tested is still not widely available. https://www.doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/Coronavirus

Pittsburgh Poison Center warns against use of chloroquine, home remedies to treat coronavirus NATASHA LINDSTROM | Tuesday, March 24, 2020 6:13 p.m. JACQUELYN MARTIN | AP The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reiterated in a statement last week that there are “no FDA-approved therapeutics or drugs to treat, cure or prevent covid-19,” the disease caused by the novel coronaviru. EMAIL NEWSLETTERS TribLIVE's Daily and Weekly email newsletters deliver the news you want and information you need, right to your inbox. About an hour ago The Pittsburgh Poison Center joined doctors nationwide Tuesday in urging people to steer clear of ingesting any form of chloroquine, concocting a home remedy or raiding a shared medicine cabinet under the misguided notion that doing so might prevent or treat covid-19. Chloroquine, in particular, is a drug used to treat severe cases of malaria that can have dangerous and potentially fatal effects — “even under the best of circumstances,” said Dr. Michael Lynch, medical director of the Pittsburgh Poison Center and a UPMC emergency medicine physician. Like health officials around the country, Lynch said chloroquine should not be taken in any form unless being administered in a hospital or clinical trial setting, where patients can be closely monitored for potential effects ranging from coma to cardiac arrest. The drug can be especially dangerous for young children and fatal even in tiny doses for children younger than 5. What’s more, its potential impact on slowing or lessening the symptoms of covid-19 is “just a hypothesis at this point,” Lynch said. “We do not have scientific evidence that this is an effective treatment, or that it’s safe for the general population,” echoed Dr. Arvind Venkat, emergency medicine physician for Allegheny Health Network. Pa. man hospitalized after ingesting chloroquine, recovering At least one person has been hospitalized in Pennsylvania after ingesting either chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine, state poison control data show. That unidentified person, who called the Philadelphia Poison Control Center on Thursday, did not die from the substance, and it’s unclear which form was taken. Their condition does not appear to be life-threatening, Lynch said. “Chloroquine phosphate” was listed as an active ingredient in a fish tank cleaner that killed an Arizona man Monday and left his wife in critical condition. The Phoenix man died after taking a chloroquine phosphate tablet sold as a fish tank cleaner — whose formulation is different than the chloroquine medical drug used to treat malaria, health officials said. The couple, both in their 60s, said they did so in the ill-informed hopes of staving off covid-19. The pair reported feeling severe symptoms within about a half hour. The drug’s potential negative effects can happen in about 30 to 60 minutes, Lynch said. Chloroquine can cause sedation, comas and seizures and block electrical signals to the heart or cause cardiac arrest, Lynch said. Officials with Banner Health, the hospital system where the Arizona couple was treated, promptly issued a public health alert that people should not turn to chloroquine or inappropriate drugs of their choosing in an attempt to thwart covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. “Given the uncertainty around covid-19, we understand that people are trying to find new ways to prevent or treat this virus, but self-medicating is not the way to do so,” said Dr. Daniel Brooks, medical director at Banner Poison and Drug Information Center. “The last thing that we want right now is to inundate our emergency departments with patients who believe they found a vague and risky solution that could potentially jeopardize their health.” The Arizona couple reported taking the fish tank product with some soda days after watching President Trump tout on national television that he was fast-tracking the approval of chloroquine as a possible way to combat covid-19. The FDA reiterated in a statement last week that there are “no FDA-approved therapeutics or drugs to treat, cure or prevent covid-19.” The Pittsburgh Poison Center is collaborating with the Allegheny County Health Department and United Way’s 211 helpline to triage people reporting possible symptoms of covid-19 and refer them to the appropriate doctor and testing centers. Officials continue to advise people to maintain daily routines, healthy diets, exercise and frequently wash hands and surfaces as they maintain social distance and self-isolate if feeling sick during the pandemic. It’s important to keep sanitizers and cleaning products out of the hands of children amid such efforts, Lynch said. Spikes in children with bleach, hand sanitizer poisoning In addition to triaging covid-19 calls, poison control center nurses in Pennsylvania have been getting a spike in cases of bleach and hand sanitizer poisoning, data show. Since the beginning of March, Pennsylvania poison control centers have recorded 152 exposures related to hand sanitizer — an 82% increase compared to last year, data show. The vast majority of those cases — 76% — involved children 12 and younger. More than half involved children under 5. The 118 exposures to bleach reported so far in March marks a 45% increase from the same time last year, data show. Nearly one-third of the cases involved children younger than 5. Seven people had to be hospitalized, Lynch said. Most cases did not require hospitalization and involved children getting bleach, hand sanitizer or other cleaning products on their hands, mouth and eyes. Products such as rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer contain high alcohol volumes that when ingested can damage stomach lining and cause vomiting and internal bleeding. Fabricated covid-19 treatments circulating on social media — such as gargling hot salt water, drinking copious amounts of water or taking various vitamins or antibiotics — should not be shared or taken seriously, Lynch said. For most people, the covid-19 virus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, older adults and people with health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and health officials have reported cases of people in their 20s, 30s and 40s who had to be hospitalized.

As that information is identified, the map will be updated appropriately. Positive (confirmed)1535Deaths16 Positive (confirmed)Deaths The Illinois Department of Public Health, local health departments, and public health partners throughout Illinois, and federal agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are responding to an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus called COVID-19 that was first identified in December 2019 during an outbreak in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has spread throughout the world, including the United States, since it was detected and was declared a public health emergency for the U.S. on January 31, 2020 to aid the nation’s healthcare community in responding to the threat. The World Health Organization announced March 11, 2020 that the spread of coronavirus qualifies as a global pandemic. In addition, Gov. JB Pritzker issued a disaster proclamation March 9, 2020 regarding COVID-19 that gives the state access to federal and state resources to combat the spread of this newly emerged virus. The first case of COVID-19 in the United States was reported January 21, 2020 and the first confirmed case in Illinois was announced January 24, 2020 (a Chicago resident). The first cases outside Chicago and Cook County were reported March 11, 2020 in Kane and McHenry counties. The current count of cases of COVID-19 in the United States is available on the CDC webpage at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-in-us.html. Illinois case totals and test results are listed below. Person-to-person spread of COVID-19 appears to be mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It also may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. Signs and symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Preliminary data suggest older adults and people with underlying health conditions or compromised immune systems seems to be at greater risk of developing serious illness from the virus. If you are sick and have respiratory symptoms, such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath, stay home unless you need medical attention. Remain in your home until you feel better and have no symptoms. Keep in mind there is no treatment for COVID-19 and people who are mildly ill can isolate at home. While at home, as much as possible, stay in a specific room and away from other people. Those who need medical attention should contact their health care provider who will evaluate whether they can be cared for at home or need to be hospitalized. This is a rapidly evolving situation and information will be updated as needed here and on the CDC website at cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html.
