As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread to new countries, some aspects pertaining to the patient's presentation, interventions to provide patient care, and the country's measures of containment in response to this first case in Bhutan may be of broad interest. 6 The patient's presentation did not fall into the case definition for COVID-19 that Bhutan was using at that time, which was limited to fever and respiratory symptoms. The public health strategies initiated by Bhutan's Ministry of Health and government are beyond the scope of this case report, but the immediate steps pertaining to the patient's contacts and medical staff caring for the patient are of interest.	./cache/cord-314921-u74jut63.txt	./txt/cord-314921-u74jut63.txt
