LATEST, March 9, 12: 30 p.m.: A woman in her 60s passed away at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View Monday, the first death tied to the novel coronavirus in the Bay Area.
The woman was hospitalized for several weeks, Santa Clara County health officials said. She was the third case detected in the county.
“She was the first person in the County confirmed to be infected with COVID-19 without any known history of international travel or contact with a traveler or infected person, suggesting she contracted COVID-19 in our community,” Santa Clara County Public Health said in a statement.
Santa Clara County has reported the most cases of COVID-19 in the Bay Area — 37 as of mid-day Monday.
The death of a 72-year-old man from Sunnyvale was previously thought to be linked to COVID-19, but test results confirmed the man did not have the virus.
March 9, 12: 05 p.m.: Marin County officials announced the first known in-county case of COVID-19 Monday.
The patient is described as “an older man” who was on the Grand Princess cruise from San Francisco to Mexico from Feb. 11 to 21. He is being treated at a hospital in the county and those who have been in close contact with him are being monitored in isolation.
“This is the first case of COVID-19 affecting a Marin resident. A previously reported case in Marin was an asymptomatic patient transferred from Travis Air Force Base in Solano County to a local hospital. That patient has remained well and was released to return to their home outside of Marin,” the county said in a statement.
March 9, 11: 30 a.m.: The Grand Princess cruise with at least 21 coronavirus patients onboard passed under the Golden Gate Bridge as it moved toward the Port of Oakland. Federal and state officials are readying flights and buses to whisk passengers aboard the boat to military bases or their home countries for a 14-day quarantine. Read the full story on the Grand Princess cruise ship here.
March 9, 9: 30 a.m.: The number of patients infected with COVID-19 in the San Francisco Bay Area increased this weekend as counties reported more cases.
Five new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in San Francisco, according to the Department of Public Health, bringing the total in the city to 13. All five people had contact with other known cases of coronavirus. They were in good condition at their homes, the department said.
Contra Costa Health Services confirmed five new cases in residents; four of them had no travel history or known contact with a confirmed case and are being treated in local hospitals. The fifth patient had close contact with an infected person and is isolating at home.
As of Sunday morning, the county had nine confirmed cases. “One patient who tested positive last week remains in a local hospital, while three other previously identified patients who tested positive are also isolating at home,” Contra Costa Health Services said in a statement.
Five new patients were also identified in Santa Clara County on Sunday. The South Bay county, which includes San Jose, now has 37 cases, the most in the nine-county region. The cases are under investigation.
Over the weekend, more than 230 cases were added to the U.S. total. The country now has 566 cases and 21 deaths have been reported.
As more testing becomes available, the number of cases in the United States is expected to increase. “You’re going to see numbers spike,” Dr. Celine Grounder, a clinical assistant professor infectious diseases at New York University, told CNN on Monday morning. “You’re going to find the transmission has been there all along.”
California now has 114 cases, including passengers from the Grand Princess cruise ship currently off the coast of California, according to the state’s public health department.
