“My case is further proof that COVID-19 is with us,” said Dr. Matt Willis, Marin County's public health officer.
In a video message recorded Sunday night, Dr. Matt Willis announced that he tested positive for the virus that afternoon. Willis said he has been self-quarantined from his family since his symptoms first appeared late last week.
“My case is further proof that COVID-19 is with us,” said Willis. “While my symptoms are now mild, as most people’s will be, we also know that for many, especially our elders, this same illness can be life threatening.” Willis’ source of exposure is currently unknown, because he has met with healthcare workers in the Bay Area.He said he didn’t know how he was exposed but he has “been actively meeting with healthcare workers around the Bay Area as part of his work to coordinate Marin County’s response to COVID-19.”
“Either way, it’s a clear sign of what we’ve been saying all along,” added Willis. “I didn’t necessarily think I would be such an early example of the fact this is in our community.” Marin County has 38 confirmed cases out of 430 people tested. Four are hospitalized.
