SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The CDC has mistakenly released a patient from the Texas Center for Infectious Disease who's test later came back positive for COVID-19, says San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg.
The patient was part of the group that came back from Wuhan, China over two weeks ago via a State Department chartered flight. According to the CDC, the patient was asymptomatic and had met all of the CDC's criteria for release. Two tests, taken 24 hours apart, had tested negative for the virus and the CDC cleared the patient. However, a later test sample came back and was determined to be "weakly" positive for COVID-19.
