Woman Gets Letter Saying She Tested Positive for COVID, But She’s Been Dead for 6 Months

A woman in Shelby County, Tennessee, which includes Memphis. recieved a letter from the local health department which reportedly said she tested positive for COVID-19 after taking the test June. 20.

The issue is that she passed away in hospice care on Feb. 16 after a battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, according to KTHV-TV in Memphis.

“It’s been six months, almost seven, since she passed away,” said her son, Troy Whittington.

“There was no testing that was done at that time. On her death certificate it was stated she died, what the cause of death was, and it was not COVID-19. It was COPD.”

Whittington said the letter arrived recently (the letter is dated Aug, 20), even though the purported test was conducted in June, making it useless in more than one respect.

After receiving the letter, he contacted the Shelby County Health Department, which, he said, confirmed they had her on record as having taken the test June 20.

So is it that a false positive or because she is dead as a death from Covid-19?
