First Villager tests positive
 
From the daily sun facebook page.

JUST IN: The first Villages resident has tested positive for COVID-19 at UF Health Leesburg Hospital. The case has been deemed travel-related. The Florida Department of Health has also confirmed the first case in Sumter County.

It would be great if we knew what Village the person lived in and where they traveled--its beginning--its going to be a rough ride

As testing becomes more available and done, the cases will increase. We don't know what we don't know but available testing will help us learn.

We need to have any person in contact with this person to be tested. This should be a REQUIREMENT when a Villager has COVID19!!!!!!!!

So true. People hoarding TP and water...

The person who has tested positive will be questioned by The Public Health Department and they will reach out to contact anyone who has been in contact with this person. This information is private and has no business being published in TOTV. If the person wishes to reveal themselves it is their business. If a recreation center, club or particular area has been involved that will be revealed by Health Department. Let’s not try and take over the job of the Health Department by spreading rumors or panicking. We should all just take advice for seniors given by CDC .

Person gets Flu. News at 11. God I'm sick of all the hype.

Forget the politics. The virus is here. Let's concentrate on getting information that helps us all to fight this epidemic ..
