"A person in Washington state has died after contracting the coronavirus, the first death from the new disease in the U.S., health officials said Saturday. The patient was in their 50s and was being treated at EvergreenHealth Medical Center in Kirkland, Washington, with serious respiratory issues, according to hospital spokesperson Julia Irwin. While President Donald Trump initially identified the patient as a woman, state and King county officials later said the patient was a man at a CDC briefing. The patient tested positive for COVID-19, along with a second patient at the same hospital. The second patient was in isolation and receiving treatment, Irwin said. EvergreenHealth said the hospital was working closely with health authorities in the wake of the patient's death."
