3rd case of Coronavirus confirmed in Onondaga County - syracuse.com

Syracuse, N.Y. — A woman in her 20s, returning home from New York City, is the third confirmed case of coronavirus in Onondaga County, officials announced at noon Wednesday.

“She was working in New York City, and her mother picked her up and drove her home,” County Executive Ryan McMahon said.

The woman was in the Downstate “hot zone" when she apparently contracted the virus, Onondaga County Health Commissioner Dr. Indu Gupta said.

The woman remains quarantined and is recovering well at home, Gupta said.

The third case was announced during County Executive Ryan McMahon’s daily noon Facebook Live news conference. No further information about the third case has been released.

She is the third case of confirmed coronavirus in the county. An elderly couple is also being treated for the virus. There’s no known connection between the new case and the previous cases.

How the elderly couple contracted the virus remains a mystery, though it was passed to them in the local community. They had not traveled in the recent past, meaning it’s considered a “community transmission.”
