HUTCHINSON— Reno County has its first case of coronavirus. Reno County Health Department Director Nick Baldetti reported the finding Friday evening.

Baldetti says a woman over the age of 60 was tested two days ago and the results came back today. The female is in self-quarantine and is doing well.

Officials are doing a backtrack of the patients whereabouts and travel and contact history which usually goes back about two weeks, according to Baldetti.

In addition to this case, the state reported 44 cases of the virus Friday including 23 in Johnson County.
