A third option is that the statement simply isn't true / that it was said to attempt to reduce panic. I think pretty much everyone expects additional positive cases. The statement is so vague, with no definitions of when, where or by what metric they mean "expected". There has been significant misinformation around coronavirus, especially from US gov't officials - although not so much at the state level yet, from what I can tell. Whoever is doing the 'expecting' on how there will be no future positive cases (whatever that means...I give it a couple hours/days before news breaks of an additional positive case near this location) is either intentionally misleading people, or the quote was taken out of context, or something. I would certainly expect 'additional positive cases' to appear.
