MARCH 12, 2020, JAMAICA, NY - On March 11, Jamaica Hospital Medical Center received confirmation from the NYC DOH that one of our patients tested positive for COVID-19. This is the first confirmed case at our hospital.
As a hospital in close proximity to JFK Airport and one that treats an ethnically diverse population, Jamaica Hospital has a great deal of experience treating a variety of contagious diseases and we will continue to be here for our community throughout this global outbreak.
