Nurse explains how COVID positive cases are counted officially

Video Transcript:

So let's see if I can get this all in 60 seconds. So I wanted to inform you guys of how the testing is going in Florida. I'm a nurse. I'm required to have testing every two weeks to go into the facilities that I go into. For starters, if you do the rapid testing and you test positive for antibodies, meaning you're not currently infected but may have been infected in the past, they have to report that as a positive case. If you test positive, go into quarantine, have your retest done in two to three weeks, whatever your place requires, that's considered a second positive case. If I get a false positive from the rapid testing, then I have to go and have the rapid test on the second time. If that second rapid test is positive, then I have to go and get the no swab the third time. If all three come back positive, they consider that three positive cases. So all in all, I could have five positive cases for one person who may not even be positive.
