Fears for 50 staff and residents at nursing facility after they are confirmed with coronavirus symptoms - two miles from Washington hospital where man, 50, becomes the first to die from the virus in the US and Donald Trump urges public not to panic

Fears are mounting for 50 staff and residents at a nursing facility in Washington state after they have shown coronavirus symptoms, on the same day that the US has its first confirmed coronavirus death and Donald Trump continued to urge the public not to panic.

More than 50 staff and residents of the nursing facility where two new coronavirus cases have been confirmed are now showing symptoms of the disease, health officials said during a teleconference with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

At the Life Care nursing facility in Kirkland, Washington state, around 27 of the 108 residents and 25 of the 180 staff have some symptoms, including some cases where the individuals have contracted pneumonia.

The article is lies, propaganda to cause panic. The person that died in washington was a woman. standard flue/cold symptoms would appear the same as corona. Democrats thrive on fear mongering.
