Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis disclosed late Sunday that two people in Tampa Bay are the first to test “presumptively positive" for COVID-19 and directed his top health official to declare a public health emergency.

One patient is an adult in Manatee County. According to the Department of Health, the patient does not have a travel history to countries identified for restricted travel by the CDC. The patient is being treated at Doctors Hospital in Sarasota.

The second patient is an adult in Hillsborough County with a history of travel to Italy. This person is isolated and will continue to remain isolated until cleared by public health officials.
