The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention admitted on Sunday that it released a patient from quarantine who later tested positive for COVID-19.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Sunday that a patient in San Antonio, Texas, who was being treated for COVID-19, was released from quarantine but later returned after testing positive for the disease.
According to the CDC, the patient was discharged from the facility after meeting"all of CDC's criteria for release – resolution of any symptoms and two consecutive sets of negative test results, collected more than 24 hours apart." The CDC noted that the patient was"asymptomatic" upon release from the medical center.
Story continues"CDC is aware that others have encountered similar situations where test results have alternated back and forth between negative and positive," it added."That is part of why CDC criteria states that a patient must have two negative test results from specimens taken more than 24 hours apart. The cycle of the virologic infection on this particular patient is longer than what has been previously seen.
On Sunday, the US Department of Health and Human Services said it was investigating the production of faulty coronavirus test kits. Nine US coronavirus cases were reported on Sunday, including New York state's first confirmed case. The coronavirus death toll has exceeded 3,000, with more than 88,500 infected.
