San Antonio (WBAP/KLIF) – Officials in San Antonio are blasting the Centers for Disease Control and prevention after its admitted missteps with a possible coronavirus patient.
The patient was mistakenly released from a health care facility before a pending lab test came back positive. The woman reportedly had contact with others before being returned to isolation.
Mayor of San Antonio: "Today we learned that the CDC mistakenly released a patient from the Texas Center for Infectious Disease who later returned a positive COVID-19 reading."#OneVoice1 #COVID19 #COVID19US #coronavirus

San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenburg said in part, “The fact that the CDC allowed the public to be exposed to a patient with a positive COVID-19 reading is unacceptable.”
Officials are trying to determine who the woman may have interacted with; she was among several Americans evacuated from Wuhan, China last month.
