MCMC Patient Tests Negative For Coronavirus

Mid-Columbia Medical Center says one of its patients has tested negative for the coronavirus.  In a statement, hospital spokesperson Stephanie Bowen said the patient had arrived at MCMC on Sunday with coronavirus-like symptoms and was placed in an isolation unit, and staff members who came in contact with the patient were asked to self-quarantine under the guidance of the North Central Public Health District.  The patient’s lab results were returned from the Oregon State Lab on Monday, which found the patient did not have the COVID-19 virus, and the patient and staff have been informed.  Bowen indicated MCMC leadership has been meeting on a weekly basis to prepare for possible COVID-19 patients, and nurses and physicians have been kept up to date on screening and identification as well as safety protocols.
