State health officials said Friday that a second North Carolina person has tested positive for a new strain of coronavirus and is believed to have contracted the COVID-19 illness.
The test results need to be confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
A Chatham County man traveled in late February to an area in Italy that now has a COVID-19 outbreak, officials said. He reported having two days of mild, flu-like symptoms while in Italy. His fever resolved and symptoms were improving, and he flew back to the United States the following day.
The man also was in contact with someone from Georgia who contracted COVID-19, so the Georgia Department of Health alerted North Carolina health officials, who then tested him Thursday.
