New Jersey’s only suspected coronavirus patient has tested negative, leaving no confirmed cases of the deadly virus in the East Coast by early Sunday.
The Jersey patient had been in isolation at the Bayshore Medical Center in Holmdel, Monmouth County when the good news was announced, NJ.com reported.
Five others in New Jersey have been tested in recent weeks, but all came back negative for the deadly virus.
Likewise in New York, all eight people tested for the virus have come back negative, the latest one being cleared on Saturday.
As of early Sunday, officials were reporting no confirmed cases of coronavirus in all of the East Coast, though several hundred potential patients were being tested and monitored.
Worldwide coronavirus statistics are updated throughout the day by the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization.
