MOSES LAKE — A Samaritan Hospital patient has tested negative for the COVID-19 virus, and the quarantine has been lifted for all those believed to have been exposed, according to a press release from the Grant County Health District.
However, the district also said that a Quincy woman in her 80s who is being treated for COVID-19 symptoms at Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee is presumed positive for the virus pending test results.
“The patient is isolated in critical condition,” the health district said.
