'It was only a matter of time': Coronavirus case marks milestone for region

Posted by cypresstx on 3/5/2020, 7:14 am

Fort Bend County, Greater Houston Area (approx population of 7 million)

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Coronavirus-no-longer-theoretical-in-Houston-area-15106673.php

The single test kit Houston received has the capacity to test 700 specimens suspected of carrying the disease. That equates to about 200 to 400 patients, depending on whether a doctor collects one to three viral samples from different sources (nasal swab, saliva or discharge from a cough).

The CDC will send additional kits if there is a demand in the Houston area, said local health officials.
