The correct answer to this question is March 1st, 2020. This first case was confirmed on a Sunday, and the first person to have it was a woman who was thirty-nine years old. She worked in healthcare. The belief is that she obtained the virus during her travels to Iran.

A week after she returned from Iran, she began experiencing symptoms that dealt with her respiratory system. The patient went to an unknown hospital, where her symptoms were evaluated, and she was diagnosed with the virus.

The virus showed how serious it was because this patient took all the precautions by quarantining herself and avoiding the public.

The first-ever case of COVID 19 was confirmed in New York last March 1, 2020. Before this, people did not think that they would actually become infected with the disease. Some people have assumed that this is going to be just a minor disease, but obviously, this has already made a lot of people suffer.

The first case of the virus is a woman who traveled from another country, specifically in Iran, to New York City. Since the virus can spread very easily, people who had contact with the woman may have spread the disease more to even more people. Take note that some people who have it are asymptomatic.

The first-ever confirmed case of Coronavirus in New York was last March 3. the first person who tested positive for it is a female healthcare worker. The number of people who have the virus has started to become even higher after that. It should be remembered that New York has to be one of the cities with the highest case of the virus.

The number of people who have gotten affected in the city is far more than the cases that are reported in other countries. The fact that so many people have become affected has made a lot of New Yorkers scared of what may potentially happen next.

The first case of coronavirus disease 2019 was confirmed in New York City by Governor Andrew in Cuomo on Sunday, March 1st, 2020. The patient was a 39-year-old woman. She was a healthcare worker, and it is believed that she procured the virus while traveling in Iran. She returned from Iran a week before the diagnosis of COVID-19, and she began to experience respiratory symptoms.

The patient went to an unidentified hospital in New York City, where she was promptly evaluated and diagnosed with COVID-19. The woman had followed all the rules and self-quarantined upon returning from Iran, and this includes avoiding all public transportation. This situation reinforced how careful we all have to be right now, as the woman had taken all of the proper precautions, and she still got sick.
