Akiona said there have been no additional cases directly related to Liberty Dialysis. There were, however, two positive results in family members related to the clinic employee initially diagnosed with the virus.
Another 179 people were tested last week, and a third round of testing in response to the Liberty Dialysis case is scheduled for 9 a.m.-1 p.m. today at the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium.
