1 corona virus case in Whatcom County at local hospital not accounted for...

I am in healthcare. I want to share that Saint Joseph’s hospital in Bellingham, WA is treating one person who has the Corona virus. It is a mild case. The patient is in hospital under quarantined conditions.
What bothers me is that our media is not informing the public. This case is not related to the case that was down in Snohomish county, about 80 miles south of where This patient is being treated.
I understand that the governing officials want to avoid mass panic but at the same time, the public deserves to be informed so they can do their best to take precautions.
You will not see this in the news. BUT Washington did disclose that there are currently over 700 people in Washington now being monitored for thrust disease.
Please, if you work in healthcare, hospital later,
And are aware of current Corona viruses being treated in the USA, come forward and do not sign any documents preventing you from informing the public.
