A 50-year-old Colorado woman who was in Hawaiʻi for a two week trip, says she has since tested positive for COVID-19, the novel coronavirus. It is important to note that it is unclear where the woman contracted the virus and there are others in her area of Colorado that have tested positive–none of them to date are personal contacts of hers, to her knowledge. This particular test was taken 19 days after leaving the islands, but symptoms were present in the weeks before being tested.
