State Health Officials confirmed one person in Wake County tested positive for the coronavirus, just a few hours ago.

The person was in Washington State visiting someone who was in the nursing home where there was an outbreak, and then flew from Seattle to Raleigh.

The World Health Organization says there is no proof household pets can spread the disease, based on past coronaviruses and what we know about this strain.

The CDC says face masks should be worn by health workers and patients who are already showing symptoms associated with the coronavirus.
