My uncle just tested positive for the coronavirus. He lives in Venice, CA.
I’ve not been in direct contact with him, so we are not at risk from him, but I want to relay how the health department has managed his case. #COVID

He was skiing in the Italian alps with 6 other guys. 4 of them, including my uncle, now have the coronavirus. One is in a coma. two are sick, and my uncle has not presented any symptoms as of yet. He self-quarantined and called the health department. #COVID
A few days later they tested him and yesterday he found out he’s positive. Meanwhile, they’ve told my aunt to wear a mask, stay 10 feet away from my uncle, and otherwise she is free to move about the community. And, she has — to grocery stores, the hair salon, etc. #COVID
Believe me, I’m upset to hear that she did this. The crazier part is that they have not tested her, and will not, and again - advised her she is free to move at-will. This is how our health dept. is leading this effort. #COVID @CDCemergency @GavinNewsom @MayorOfLA
Just got an update -- my aunt is now quarantined. Guy in coma is starting to improve. stay safe people.
Also, my family is super pissed I tweeted this. I will not be speaking with any press. I thank you for respecting their privacy.
New update: My uncle is being retested today, still no symptoms. Aunt still quarantined, no symptoms -- they are not testing her, so we& #39;re all in a wait and see.
The latest — his results came back positive still.
For anyone still following, my uncle is doing okay. He and my aunt are both still quarantined, but doing okay.
Here’s more about him — stay safe. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-03-12/covid-19-coronavirus-vulnerable-patient">https://www.latimes.com/opinion/s...
