Two new presumptive cases of coronavirus in New England have been linked to a high school field trip to Europe dating back to mid-February, according to health officials, as the state tested a third person for the deadly virus.

A teenager was identified by Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) State Health Laboratories as a presumptive positive case of the novel coronavirus. The teenager and an adult in her 30s are undergoing tests; both went on the same school trip as the first presumptive positive case of the disease, a male in his 40s.
