Ist case of Covid19 in TN---Williamson County

Local man had not traveled internationally but had recently attended a conference in another state where there were also a number of international attendees. It was just a matter of time before we would have our first case. I wish him a speedy recovery and hope it can be contained.

..."The patient, described as a 44-year-old man, is in Williamson County and is currently quarantined at home. The Tennessee Department of Health is working to determine to which states he traveled.

The health department said the patient has mild symptoms and sought care when he became slightly worse. Health officials said they're working on compiling a list of people that have come in contact with the family. They're also working to determine if he traveled through Nashville International Airport.

Health department officials said the man had limited contact after returning from out of state. He isolated himself at his home when he began to feel sick.".....

to and from Boston via the Nashville airport. No other info about the conference so far. I assume it was in Boston, but that could just be the closest airport to where it was.
