(AP)--Health officials in northeastern Kansas have confirmed the state's seventh case of COVID-19.
The Johnson County Department of Health and Environment said in a news release Saturday that the presumptive positive case is a woman in her 50s associated with Johnson County Community College.
The department says it's the region's first known case to have been contracted locally.
The release says the woman is hospitalized and “doing well." Her family members have been quarantined, and those who may have been exposed by contact with the woman are being contacted by the health department.
