SANTA CLARA, Calif. (KTVU) - A resident in Santa Clara County who contracted the novel coronavirus has fully recovered, health officials said.
The health department said the man was the county's first confirmed case, but he was never sick enough to require treatment at a hospital, so he remained in isolation at home.
