California coronavirus patients are in "very good" and "fair" condition, doctor says One coronavirus patient is in “very good condition and the other is in fair condition,” said UC San Diego Health Center’s Dr. Randy Taplitz at a news conference this morning.
A third is a “person under investigation,” she said.
The patients are part of a group quarantined at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar.
Earlier in the week, a woman with the novel coronavirus was sent back to Miramar instead of hospital isolation. Taplitz said she is confident the error will not happen again and attributes the problem to communication issues.
“Our testing, we sent directly to the CDC and I have no concerns about the accuracy of those tests,” she continued.
She underscored that masks are not necessary for the general public because this virus is spread by large droplet not airborne spread.
“So really the masks are not going to help you when you’re walking down the street,” she Taplitz said.
