Woman in China got positive coronavirus test only after five tries

Coronavirus continue to infect people throughout the world. Unfortunately, created tests are not very effective: they can’t accurately detect the virus in human body: Woman in China got positive coronavirus test only after five tries.

On June 3, a Beijing resident Liu, visited Xinfadi Market with her husband. On June 14, her husband got positive test. On June 16, she noted coronavirus symptoms. X-ray images of the lungs confirmed pneumonia, but the test was negative.

For a week she was examined by doctors and was re-tested. All tests were negative but still it was obvious that she was infected.

On June 23 she was hospitalized: the fifth test was positive. According to specialists, it is quite common. There are a lot of people who were tested several times. Specialists say that it is due to the fact that sometimes incubation period of the virus lasts more than two weeks. But still, it is not about Liu case, as she had spots in her lungs and other symptoms. It confirms that tests need to be improved.
