TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Officials confirmed Saturday that a Kansas City-area woman who recently traveled to the east coast of the United States is the first case of coronavirus in Kansas.

Gov. Laura Kelly and health officials said the woman is isolating herself at home after seeing her doctor over the common coronavirus symptoms of a cough, slight fever and shortness of breath. 

 She lives in Johnson County, the state's most populous county.

Kansas Department of Health and Environment Secretary Lee Norman said she is “doing very well.”

The Kansas announcement came as Florida reported two coronavirus deaths and the U.S. death toll reached 19. The U.S. has had 400 cases.
