Again. we just passed last night spoke will just hours ago. The details will be forthcoming. Do you know when this will turn back? They returned for five days ago, you know where they were we're still working on their travel pattern. At this time, it was not international travel, presumably it was at Nashville Airport. we're waiting to confirm that. can you tell us a little bit about the testing people that is the number of pets you have potentially the number of people you need to and when you'll have that is a topic of much discussion these days, I want to reassure you that Tennessee was what first five States listing ability. we've been testing his state since February twentieth and have had multiple individual. Was tested negative until the case that we told you about today as you are probably the process for commercial testing has been expedited and we have capacity now with the city at the CDC crucial test kit should be available very special performance. I don't have that exact a handful of how many times they have available. it's limited capacity, but we have plenty for now. I don't know the exact number. it was a University reporters that this was gonna survey how many they had and how other resources. When he started gonna say them, I mean it's like he's expressing now. Yes, I'll ask Doctor done to a drink mask availability and supplying. It's just for people on the call, but the question was about mask availability and supplies. My name is Doctor John Dunn, the state of Virginia. So we've already sent out some inquiries to some of our health. We have a number of sister place through our actions and our preparedness Emergency preparedness program, where by we can request through electronic system. so we're staying in close, contact providers and working with our partners and other state partners valuate what's on hand and what's needed? outlast Doctor Phil to fill you in on some of the patient information she has been in the most contact with him. Jenna was what prompted the Patriots seek medical care so sure Doctor Martha the patient unfortunately, as as it has very mild symptoms, he did have some progression of his symptom to be slightly worse and that was what led him to seek care. I think important to note that clinicians that evaluated him acted. They immediately contacted public health and took all precautions. 20 seconds long, I think that's important. Yes, so the question is about proper hand washing techniques. you mentioned proper hand washes 20 cents covering surfaces with water and soap, water and soap are knowledgeable alcohol been sanitizers also, or if if used properly you faces and amounts muffin and so I would ask the public to be obvious and if that and make sure you're handing frequently, said this corner. I forgot about. The question is about containment household contacts. We've been in contact with them since last they are corned at home and have expressed a sincere desire to be compliant with that. we are compiling a list of their contacts and our active as we speak in process of reaching out to those counts and tree on for their symptoms and potential. From this patient for our state and and then have it for the virus how they were in Tennessee when they didn't may happen, sure, that was how long the patient potentially to knowing the desk. Fortunately, this patient returned from their level and and became an as we often encourage people any titles they be self isolate at that time, so the duration when they became ill until we knew the results was short days, but they're outside of during that time period, the handful people that were tested. They have. Problem There are very strict the question is sting criteria very strict guidelines on testers by the CDC. Many of them did have an additional travel history. some of them had unexplained in severe pneumonia, but the the vast majority of them did international travel. I know. We just had a tornado, can you say? It has been a very difficult state. a lot of ways people are suffering just beginning to recover. thousands of people affects of now this at the Corona of ours, but I think the thing that is that paradise is is how we deal with situations like this that we've it's already. It's already been evident that the preparedness rooms and from federal agencies, local agencies was strong response from has been strong. Difficult but that preparedness was important the same as true. here you know I was in Washington, DC week and met with the cities and other governors who begin to prepare for the debt. This might attend and because of that task force we put in place are probably have a strategy for communication of all the folks involved. Yeah, I think earlier, I said we need to keep this perspective. How we keep from to area situation we don't wanna we don't wanna you know understate the serious of the situation. Also we offer remind folks that keeping it in perspective, the vast number of our mild disease peers effect in space rate is low. whether it's to other things make the here in our state. continue a low risk but Prepared is the Bay to mitigate and and I will say again to it. It sounds like little things like washing your hands a lot and not touching your eyes and sneezing into our elbows and not going out either sick the things that Tennessee to do in the same way that we're and help our neighbors. We have individual by just that we're responsible for things, but they're important that our phone lines Nations from media joining on the phone we will on me. The phone on this end, if you will press start for those on the phone line and your organ before asking your question. Yeah. So, with the challenge, three proceed in a little bit. What can you can you give me a brief recap and and do you know that that person had traveled from was a California or Washington and for the question? the brief overview, 40 - four from County who few days ago out of state travel is still working with us to give his travel history and we are in the process of tracking that now if you didn't hear your we just learned of this and so the Thank you. Said the is he in Williamson County from Williamson County. The answer is both a question You were talking about testing. Do we know how many people have been for excuses? we have a small home task straight connections have with the view and we are being a very nice and we have some where we have now All of the people that fit the signs for testing how many do we have a number of how many happens I don't. I do not have an exact number. I'm sorry are you sure with the free press? Can we get a handful mean by or less and again we published that information soon point I can plus or minus 10. Thank you. What I will plans were, but if in a what's that nice stuff. So we will make a proper notice as the governor mentioned and put out your day the CEO International Airport is on task force. we have been in contact with him this morning and if we determine that the patient pass through that airport we will know appropriately the last question we have time for this morning.
