‘Totally unacceptable’: CDC released a woman in Texas who tested positive
for the coronavirus:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a woman from
quarantine in Texas who tested positive for the new coronavirus, San Antonio
officials said Monday.
After the woman was released, she visited North Star Mall, where she
browsed stores and ate at the food court, according to Dr. Anita Kurian,
assistant director of communicable diseases at the San Antonio Metropolitan
Health District. The woman also checked in to a hotel. Local officials are
tracking 16 people from the mall and three at the hotel who they believe
came into contact with the woman.
The woman was among the 91 Americans evacuated from Wuhan and placed in
federal, 14-day quarantine at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.
“Unfortunately after the person’s release, the CDC received the results of
another test that showed a weakly positive confirmation of the virus that
causes COVID-19,” Nirenberg said at a news briefing Monday. “As mayor of
this city, I find it totally unacceptable that CDC would release a patient
prior to receiving all test results and potentially expose the public to
this harm.”

“We simply cannot have a screw-up like this from our federal partners,”
Nirenberg said. “While the CDC is encouraging everyone to wash their hands
and prevent the spread of the virus, as we would during the season, I would
encourage the federal administration to not wash its hands of the
responsibility to protect the public.” |
