Officials said they've been meeting with fire departments and EMSA about infection prevention protocols.

It's nothing unusual for first responders, but it's encouraging them to double down on taking those precautions.

Health officials said they are still investigating, but right now they have no evidence either patient spread COVID-19 at any public places.
