The patient, a resident of Solano County in the northeast San Francisco Bay, is currently being treated at the University of California, Davis Medical Center, and was first transferred there last Wednesday, February 19. Health officials are reportedly tracing the contacts of the patient to determine how they may have become infected, and who else could be at risk of exposure.
