He continued to show
symptoms while traveling
through the Port of San
Francisco, then called 911
and was transported by am-
bulance to a hospital in
Roseville on Feb. 27. He was
tested for COVID-19 on Sun-
day, and the results returned
positive Tuesday. The pa-
tient died the next morning,
Sisson said.
It’s possible that other
cruise passengers may have
been exposed, officials said.
Placer County Public Health
is working closely with Sac-
ramento County Public
Health and the Centers for
Disease Control and Preven-
tion to identify and contact
other cruise passengers.
“We extend our deepest
condolences to the loved
ones of this patient,” Sisson
said. “While we have ex-
pected more cases, this
death is an unfortunate
milestone in our efforts to
fight this disease, and one
that we never wanted to
see.”
Princess Cruises said it
was notified by the Centers
for Disease Control and Pre-
vention that they are investi-
gating a small cluster of
cases in Northern California
among guests who sailed on
the Grand Princess Mexican
voyage.
The company said that
62 guests who sailed during
the voyage remained on
board for a current trip to
Hawaii. In an abundance of
caution, these guests and
other possible close crew
contacts have been asked to
remain in their staterooms
until screened by the ship’s
medical team.
Newsom on Wednesday
announced a new case in So-
noma County, where an indi-
vidual who traveled on the
same Princess cruise ship as
the Placer County victim
contracted the virus and is
in “very difficult condition.”
The governor added that
the Princess cruise was ex-
pected to return from
Hawaii to San Francisco on
Wednesday. The state de-
layed the ship’s arrival be-
cause several passengers
and staff aboard have exhib-
ited coronavirus symptoms.
By one estimate, over
50% of the more than 2,
passengers who returned on
the Princess cruise on Feb. 21
were Californians, Newsom
said. The state will contact
every county health official
with passengers in their area
by Wednesday night, he said.
Newsom is asking the
Legislature to make $20 mil-
lion available for the state to
respond to the coronavirus,
and announced the Califor-
nia Department of Public
Health is dipping into its re-
serves of millions of N
masks to distribute to
healthcare workers on the
front lines.
Los Angeles County de-
clared its own health emer-
gency Wednesday as its
number of coronavirus cases
increased to seven, includ-
ing six new patients.
None of the new cases are
believed to be “community
spread,” officials said. All in-
dividuals were exposed to
COVID-19 through close
contacts with others who
were infected.
The additional cases
were confirmed Tuesday
night. Officials said three of
the new cases were travelers
who had visited northern It-
aly, two were family mem-
bers who had close contact
with a person outside the
county who was infected,
and one had a job involving
contact with travelers.
One patient has been
hospitalized, and the others
are isolated at home.
“I want to reiterate this is
not a response rooted in
panic,” L.A. County Supervi-
sor Kathryn Barger said at a
news briefing. “We need ev-
ery tool at our disposal.”
The cities of Pasadena
and Long Beach are also
declaring public health
emergencies related to the
novel coronavirus. There are
currently no confirmed
cases in either city.
Los Angeles County will
increase its capacity for test-
ing of the virus at its public
health laboratory. Officials
will begin daily radio brief-
ings for the public, post new
guidelines for schools and
colleges, and, over the next
week, send “technical assist-
ance teams” to make site vis-
its to temporary housing fa-
cilities including homeless
shelters.
Officials urged people to
frequently wash their hands,
opt for verbal salutations in
place of hugs and hand-
shakes, and try to maintain
a distance of six feet from
strangers.
“We have to be prepared.
We have to protect the well-
being of our loved ones and
our neighbors,” Los Angeles
Mayor Eric Garcetti said.
A screener of incoming
flights from China and sur-
rounding countries at Los
Angeles International Air-
port is among the new cases
that have tested positive for
coronavirus in L.A. County,
according to two sources fa-
miliar with the report.
The screener, who is atta-
ched to the CDC, last
worked Feb. 21 at LAX and,
after developing potential
symptoms, alerted medical
professionals and author-
ities. The person was for-
mally identified Tuesday as
having the COVID-19 virus
and so far has a mild case
and is isolated at home.
In Placer, the death of the
cruise ship passenger was
the county’s second con-
firmed case of COVID-19, re-
ported Tuesday night, and it
raised local concerns of fur-
ther contagion. Health offi-
cials tried to address those
concerns Wednesday.
“Placer County has been
conducting intensive con-
tact tracing to identify and
contact healthcare workers
and community members
who were exposed to this in-
dividual within the Placer
County community,” Sisson
said.
So far, Sisson said, health
officers have determined
that the person had minimal
contact in the community
since returning from the
cruise. Ten healthcare work-
ers at Kaiser and five emer-
gency responders who came
in contact with the individu-
al are being quarantined,
Sisson said.
California’s first virus
death came amid news of
nine deaths in Washington
state, a new quarantine in
the suburbs of New York City
and a warning that more
cases are on the horizon.
As of Wednesday after-
noon, more than 50 people in
California have the virus,
with new cases reported in
Berkeley and Santa Clara
County. In Orange County,
two cases are pending con-
firmation. The cases involve
a man in his 60s and a wom-
an in her 30s who both re-
cently traveled to countries
with widespread transmis-
sion, according to the Health
Care Agency.
The $8-billion deal struck
Wednesday in Washington
includes funding for the De-
partment of Health and Hu-
man Services, which houses
the Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention and the
National Institutes of
Health. It also includes
money to help develop a vac-
cine, as well as aid to state
and local governments.

KASTANIES, Greece —
Greek authorities fired tear
gas and stun grenades
Wednesday morning to re-
pulse a push by migrants to
cross its land border from
Turkey, as pressure contin-
ued along its frontier after
Turkey said its own border
with Europe was open to
whoever wanted to cross.
Turkish authorities said
one person was killed and
five were wounded by fire
coming from the Greek side
— an assertion the Greek
government strongly re-
jected, saying it was “fake
news.”
The clashes were near
the village of Kastanies,
along a border fence that
covers much of the land
boundary not demarcated
by the Evros river running
along the frontier.
Turkey made good on a
threat to open its borders
and send migrants into Eu-
rope last week. President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ac-
tion triggered days of violent
clashes and scenes of chaos
at the land border, where
thousands of migrants and
refugees have gathered.
The governor’s office for
the Turkish border province
of Edirne said one migrant
was killed and five others
wounded after Greek police
and border units fired tear
gas, blank bullets and live
rounds at a group of mi-
grants gathered at an area
between the Turkish and
Greek gates of Pazarkule
and Kastanies.
A statement from Gov.
Ekrem Canalp’s office said
three migrants were injured
in the foot, one in the groin
and one in the head. A sixth
who was hit in the chest died
in the hospital, it said, add-
ing that the incident oc-
curred as the Turkish parlia-
mentary committee on hu-
man rights was visiting the
area.
Government spokesman
Stelios Petsas categorically
denied that any migrants
had been wounded or killed
by Greek authorities.
“The Turkish side cre-
ates and disperses fake news
targeted against Greece. To-
day they created yet another
such falsehood,” he said.
Greek authorities said
Turkish police were firing
tear gas at them, and sup-
plied video that they said
backed their assertion.
During the clashes earli-
er Wednesday, reporters on
the Greek side of the border
heard what sounded like
gunfire, though it was un-
clear whether this was live
ammunition. A group of peo-
ple could be seen carrying
what could have been a per-
son between them, and run-
ning to the Turkish border
post. Shortly afterward, an
ambulance was heard leav-
ing.
Reporters on the Turkish
side of the border saw at
least four ambulances leave
the area.
The head of emergency
services at Edirne’s Trakya
University Hospital, Burak
Sayhan, told journalists that
six people had been admit-
ted Wednesday, including
one who was dead on arrival.
Greece’s sea border has
also come under pressure. In
the last few days, hundreds
of people have headed to
Greek islands from the
Turkish coast. One child
died when the dinghy he was
in capsized off the Greek is-
land of Lesbos this week.
Greek authorities said
there were about 15,000 peo-
ple along the land border
Wednesday, and they had
blocked 27,832 attempts to
cross the border between
Saturday morning and
Wednesday morning. A total
of 220 people who managed
to cross were arrested.

Clashes erupt at land

one person died and
five were wounded.
