BREAKING: A man in his 50s died at @EvergreenHosp. Per @KCPubHealth, there are also 4 new coronavirus casss. Two came from this long-term care center in Kirkland. One is an employee in her 40s (no travel) and the other a woman in her 70s is a resident here #KOMONews 
The man who died DID NOT live here. More than 50 others at Life Care Center of Kirkland, however, are reportedly ill with “respiratory symptoms or hospitalized with pneumonia or other resp conditions of an unknown cause.” They’re being tested for coronavirus #KOMONews
Employee at Life Care who tested positive for coronavirus is being treated at Overlake where we reported live from last night #KOMONews
Man who died had “underlying health conditions.” That @CDCgov will be arriving this weekend. “We expect to see an increase in cases locally...80 percent are mild” says @WADeptHealth #KOMONews
We just spoke with Leslie who came to Life Care to visit her brother who’s rehabbing here - she was turned away. She says she saw people inside wearing masks, says her brother isn’t complaining of any respiratory problems #KOMONews
CLARIFICATION FROM @KCPubHealth - 3 new “presumptive” cases of coronavirus, not 4 new cases. This brings total number of presumptive cases to 4. This means they’re awaiting @CDCgov testing confirmation #KOMONews
Again this is for King County. There’s a presumptive case in Snohomish County that was announced last night, a student at Jackson High School in Mill Creek #KOMONews
These signs are posted at the entrance Life Care Center of Kirkland and like we heard from Leslie, workers inside are wearing face masks #KOMONews
HAPPENING NOW: Care center employees and Kirkland Fire transporting someone in protective gear away from the facility #KOMONews
We’re expecting an update on this patient and others from Life Care Center of Kirkland within the next half hour #KOMONews
Antonia is a phlebotomist contracted to do work here. She says inside, no one has been moved around or necessarily isolated. She says she isn’t too worried at this point. Today is the first day visitors haven’t been allowed according to her #KOMONews
We’ve also learned Kirkland Fire has quarantined the fire fighters who first responded here for the two presumptive coronavirus patients (1 employee, 1 resident) #KOMONews
In addition to Kirkland Fire, 7 fire fighters with Redmond are also in quarantine. They helped respond to the care facility. Some are in quarantine at home, the others at Station 13. That station has had its operations transferred to other stations, no lack of service #KOMONews
We were just handed this statement from someone at Life Center of Kirkland. No update or indication as to why that person was transported earlier this afternoon. They will “possibly” send patients to hospitals for “formal COVID-19” testing #KOMONews
UPDATE: Another patient from the facility here has just been loaded in to an AMR ambulance #KOMONews
Overlake Medical Center in Bellevue says the woman (employee) from Life Care being treated there is in “stable” condition and remains in isolation. “Additional patients” at the hospital have been tested for coronavirus, as well. Their results could come back tonight #KOMONews
At Kirkland Fire Station 21, the firehouse itself is a quarantine site with a series of signs posted near the entrance, one reading “do not enter unless necessary” #KOMONews
UPDATE: Late last week, we've learned 16 students with Lake Washington Institute of Technology visited Life Care. That campus is now being disinfected and faculty is 'in touch' with those students, awaiting guidance on next steps from @KCPubHealth #KOMONews
