Probable Cases
“Probable cases” is a category established by the Texas Department of State Health Services to describe those who do not have a positive PCR test for COVID-19, but meet two of the following three criteria:
- A positive quick-result antigen test
- Experiencing COVID-19 symptoms
- Close contact with a confirmed positive COVID-19 case
A probable case is treated identically to a confirmed case and counts toward the county’s positivity rate and total case tally.
This is absolutely impossible for an infant to contract covid. Someone must be lying! Dr Wright stated children do not contract covid!
So much for the sage wisdom of this ex medical consultant to Comal ISD. Ultimately science rules and not Trump’s disruptor politics.
Pray that infant does not have long term immune system problems from covid. Caring for an infant with covid while protecting the caregiver is very difficult and emotionally draining.
