A 50-year-old lawyer who works in Manhattan and lives in the New York suburb of Westchester County has been hospitalized and tested positive for the coronavirus.
The New Rochelle man doesn’t have a history of foreign travel and it wasn’t immediately clear if he’d had contact with known cases in the U.S. Health authorities around the country are closely watching for coronavirus cases with unknown origins, a sign that the virus could be spreading from person to person.
