CA Woman Hospitalized 8 Days Before Testing Positive for Coronavirus; 8,400 Being Monitored
2020-02-28
[Red State] - A California woman who tested positive for coronavirus eight days after being hospitalized for flu symptoms is the first case of an individual in the United States for whom officials don’t know the source of infection. The patient was treated for three days at a small hospital in Vacaville before being transferred to UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, where she was treated for five days before testing positive.
I'd guess the current tests are not very sensitive - PCR requires lots of DNA.
