The man in his 30s was admitted to the special pathogens unit in a hospital in Everett, Washington, on Monday. He did not give an update on how long the patient would remain in the unit. According to Diaz, this is the first time the Everett medical center has admitted a patient into its special pathogens unit. Since admitting the patient in Washington state, all of these facilities have activated a screening tool for the virus. There is only one entry point for the special pathogens unit, which is guarded by security officers, said Diaz.
