COVID-19 at WUHAN-CHINA

A spate of mysterious second-time infections is calling into question the accuracy of COVID-19
diagnostic tools even as China prepares to lift quarantine measures to allow residents to leave the
epicenter of its outbreak next month. It's also raising concerns of a possible second wave of cases.
From March 18-22, the Chinese city of Wuhan reported no new cases of the virus through domestic
transmission — that is, infection passed on from one person to another. The achievement was seen as a
turning point in efforts to contain the virus, which has infected more than 80,000 people in China. Wuhan
was particularly hard-hit, with more than half of all confirmed cases in the country.

But some Wuhan residents who had tested positive earlier and then recovered from the disease are testing
positive for the virus a second time. Based on data from several quarantine facilities in the city, which
house patients for further observation after their discharge from hospitals, about 5%-10% of patients
pronounced "recovered" have tested positive again.

Some of those who retested positive appear to be asymptomatic carriers — those who carry the virus and
are possibly infectious but do not exhibit any of the illness's associated symptoms — suggesting that the
outbreak in Wuhan is not close to being over.

NPR has spoken by phone or exchanged text messages with four individuals in Wuhan who are part of
this group of individuals testing positive a second time in March. All four said they had been sickened
with the virus and tested positive, then were released from medical care in recent weeks after their
condition improved and they tested negative.

Two of them are front-line doctors who were sickened after treating patients in their Wuhan hospitals.
The other two are Wuhan residents. They all requested anonymity when speaking with NPR because
those who have challenged the government's handling of the outbreak have been detained.

One of the Wuhan residents who spoke to NPR exhibited severe symptoms during their first round of
illness and was eventually hospitalized. The second resident displayed only mild symptoms at first and
was quarantined in one of more than a dozen makeshift treatment centers erected in Wuhan during the
peak of the outbreak.
But when both were tested a second time for the coronavirus on Sunday, March 22, as a precondition for
seeking medical care for unrelated health issues, they tested positive for the coronavirus even though they
exhibited none of the typical symptoms, such as a fever or dry cough. The time from their recovery and
release to the retest ranged from a few days to a few weeks.

Could that second positive test mean a second round of infection? Virologists think it is unlikely that a
COVID-19 patient could be re-infected so quickly after recovery but caution that it is too soon to know.

Under its newest COVID-19 prevention guidelines, China does not include in its overall daily count for
total and for new cases those who retest positive after being released from medical care. China also does
not include asymptomatic cases in case counts.

"I have no idea why the authorities choose not to count [asymptomatic] cases in the official case count. I
am baffled," said one of the Wuhan doctors who had a second positive test after recovering.

These four people are now being isolated under medical observation. It is unclear whether they are
infectious and why they tested positive after their earlier negative test.

It is possible they were first given a false negative test result, which can happen if the swab used to collect
samples of the virus misses bits of the virus. Dr. Li Wenliang, a whistleblowing doctor who later died of
the virus himself in February, tested negative for the coronavirus several times before being accurately
diagnosed.

In February, Wang Chen, a director at the state-run Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, estimated that
the nucleic acid tests used in China were accurate at identifying positive cases of the coronavirus only
30%-50% of the time.

Another theory is that, because the test amplifies tiny bits of DNA, residual virus from the initial infection
could have falsely resulted in that second positive reading.

"There are false positives with these types of tests," Dr. Jeffrey Shaman, a professor of environmental
health sciences at Columbia University, told NPR by email. Shaman recently co-authored a modeling
study showing that transmission by individuals who did not exhibit any symptoms was a driver of the
Wuhan outbreak.
How real is China's recovery?

On Tuesday, Hubei province, where Wuhan is the capital, said it would relax lockdown measures
that have now been in place for more than two months and begin letting residents leave cities the
following day. Wuhan said it would begin lifting its quarantine measures and letting residents leave two
weeks later, on April 8.

To leave Wuhan, residents must first test negative for the coronavirus, according to municipal authorities.
Such screenings will identify some remaining asymptomatic virus carriers. But the high rate of false
negatives that Chinese doctors have cited means many with the virus could pass undetected.

Last Thursday, Wuhan reported for the first time since the outbreak began that it had no new cases of the
virus from the day before — a milestone in China's virus containment efforts. The city reported a zero rise
in new cases for the following four days.

"In terms of those who retested positive, the official party line is that they have not been proven to be
infectious. That is not the same as saying they are not infectious," one of the Wuhan doctors who tested
positive twice told NPR. He is now isolated and under medical observation. "If they really are not
infectious," the doctor said, "then there would be no need to take them back to the hospitals again."
