According to a report, the 20-year-old was admitted to the hospital in June. Where he was examined for about a month. The health official said polio is a viral disease, which can affect a person’s nervous system, which can lead to muscle weakness and in some cases even death.

A press release issued by the Department of Health confirmed a case of polio in New York’s Rockland County. It was also said that 95% of the people have no symptoms of polio, yet they can spread the virus. County Health Commissioner Dr. Patricia Schnabel Rupert said: “We are closely monitoring the situation. We are working closely with the New York State Department of Health and the Prevention Centers to deal with the situation.”

According to a report, the patient has been discharged from the hospital and is staying at home. According to the report, the patient has no problem standing up. But he is having trouble walking.
