Connecticut has its first confirmed case of the coronavirus — a resident who was likely  exposed on a recent trip to California, according to officials.

Gov. Ned Lamont said the patient, who is being treated at Danbury Hospital, is a Wilton resident between the ages of 40 and 50.

“We have been expecting for some time that a Connecticut resident would become infected with COVID-19, so this should not come as a surprise to anybody,” Lamont said in a statement.

He added that “extensive contact tracing” has been done to track down anyone who may have been infected by the patient.

The case is not related to the two coronavirus patients who live outside the state but have connections to it, Lamont said.

Those cases involve a Danbury Hospital employee and a doctor who made rounds at Bridgeport Hospital. Both previously tested positive for the virus and live in New York.

Connecticut said it is expecting more test kits from the federal government as the number of cases in the US surpassed 550.
