RAMSEY COUNTY, Minn. – Minnesota has confirmed its first case of the new coronavirus in the state. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) announced Friday that the patient is an adult from Ramsey County who recently traveled on a cruise ship with a known case of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus. MDH says the patient began to develop symptoms on Feb. 25, sought health care on Thursday and samples from the person tested positive for the virus Friday. “MDH is awaiting confirmatory testing from CDC, but health officials consider the presumptive results actionable,” wrote the department.The patient is now in quarantine at home and is recovering, according to MDH. Health officials say they’re working with Ramsey County Public Health to identify and contact all those who may have come in contact with the infected person. Those people will be asked to isolate themselves for 14 days from their exposure and will be monitored for fever and respiratory symptoms.“The State of Minnesota has been working around the clock to prepare for this and I am confident that our Department of Health is up to the challenge,” Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said. “Our Administration is collaborating across state agencies and remains in close contact with both federal and local partners as we monitor developments with this outbreak. Our state is fortunate to have a strong public health sector and world-class health care providers who are working hard to keep Minnesotans safe and healthy.”This case makes Minnesota the 20th state in the U.S. to report at least one COVID-19 case. As of Friday afternoon, there have been 260 cases of the virus confirmed in the U.S. and 14 deaths, 13 in Washington state and one in California. Worldwide, there’s been more than 100,000 cases confirmed and over 3,400 COVID-19 deaths, with a majority in mainland China, where the virus is believed to have originated. The virus that causes COVID-19 is spread by respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how flu and other respiratory diseases spread, or when people touch surfaces that have been contaminated by an infected person, and then touch their eyes, nose or mouth.Officials say the most important thing you can do to protect yourselves from the virus is to take everyday steps to prevent respiratory illness, including: · Covering your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or into your sleeve, and then throwing the tissue in the trash.· Washing your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom or before eating. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.· Avoiding touching your face – especially your eyes, nose and mouth ? with unwashed hands.· Staying home if you have cold or flu-like symptoms, and avoid close contact with people who are sick. 2911

Representatives from Facebook and Google will be on Capitol Hill today to face questions from lawmakers about how their platforms are used by white supremacists.The hearing, which is being conducted by the House Judiciary Committee, comes just a few weeks after a terror attack in New Zealand that was streamed live on Facebook. Fifty people at two mosques were killed in the attack.The representatives from the two big tech companies' policy teams will appear on an eight person panel that will also include representatives from civil rights groups such as the Anti-Defamation League, and Candace Owens of the conservative group Turning Point USA. Google has received criticism for the role online search plays in spreading hateful ideologies, but its video sharing site YouTube has increasingly been slammed for hosting such content and its algorithms surfacing it.The New Zealand attack "underscores the urgency" of addressing the white supremacy problem on social media, Kristen Clarke, the head of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, told CNN Business.The attack, Clarke said, is "exhibit A in how violent white supremacists abuse the Facebook platform to promote their dangerous, fatal activities." She will be part of the panel testifying on Tuesday.The mass shootings in New Zealand highlighted two key challenges for the social media platforms: The way in which they are used to spread extremist ideologies and rally people to those ideologies, and how people who commit violence on behalf of those extremist ideas use the platforms to promote their actions.Two weeks after the massacre, Facebook announced that it would ban all "praise, support and representation of white nationalism and separatism" on Facebook and Instagram. Previously, the company had banned white supremacy, but had viewed white nationalism differently. The company said it had decided to ban white nationalism after months of consultation with civil rights groups.Neither YouTube nor Twitter have enacted similar blanket bans of white nationalism but both companies say they have policies to fight hate and the incitement of violence on their platforms.Despite investments in human moderators and artificial intelligence, Facebook failed to interrupt the video stream of the mass murder as it was streamed live.Facebook and YouTube said they spent the days after the attack removing millions of reuploads of the video. Facebook said it had stopped the upload of 1.2 million versions of the video, but that 300,000 copies had made it onto the platform and were later removed.A statement from the House Judiciary Committee said Tuesday's hearing "will examine hate crimes, the impact white nationalist groups have on American communities and the spread of white identity ideology. The hearing will also foster ideas about what social media companies can do to stem white nationalist propaganda and hate speech online. " 2927

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – A 95-year-old woman’s birthday party had to be canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic, but it didn’t stop her family from celebrating the milestone. The Syracuse, New York family had been planning Kathleen Byrne's party for months and relatives from across the country were set to attend the bash, but her health was more important. However, the family couldn’t let Kathleen’s birth go uncelebrated, so they brought the party to her front door and sang her “Happy Birthday” at a safe distance. “We had to keep our distance, but we couldn’t not see our best girl on her birthday!!!” wrote Sara Byrne, one of Kathleen’s granddaughters in an Instagram video that has now gone viral. In the video, family members and even some dogs are seen lined up in Kathleen’s yard with signs, serenading the grandmother of 22 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren.“I’m sorry we’re not all together, but you’re all altogether,” Kathleen can be heard saying in the video. At 95 years old, Kathleen is in an age group that is at a high risk of “severe illness” from the coronavirus, according to the 1119
