At least one man is hospitalized in Delaware after 12 people were inadvertently given incorrect COVID-19 test results, according to the Delaware Health and Social Services and state Sen. Brian Pettyjohn.
“In partnership with Walgreens, 2,791 samples were collected for processing through the Delaware Public Health Lab in the first week of testing. In the process of results delivery, 12 persons who tested positive for COVID-19 were inadvertently given negative results by phone due to an internal DPH system error,” a statement from the health department said.
