The first positive case was reported last week. The quarantine period for migrant workers came to an end after he arrived in the state in mid-September, and according to Dr. Levin, the man is believed to have fallen ill outside of Vermont.
“Orchard owners and state agencies make sure these workers have what they need – food, shelter, and other things to safely separate,” Vermont Gov. Phil Scott told a news conference.
“In light of recent national events, I rarely need to remember the nature of the virus. People don’t get sick because they have a certain location, ethnicity or nationality – they get sick if they come in contact with the virus.”
According to Johns Hopkins University, Vermont has the lowest Covid-19 case of any state, with only 1,821 cases. The state did not see any covid-related deaths or ICU admissions in September, according to Michael Psiak, commissioner of the state’s financial regulation department.
