That's what the website says, but they also did not update the positive number, so. . . Plus we know DC lies about crime stats, so why not lie about this?

DC case appears to be community transmission.

Yeah, this is what I was asking about. Seems like CPAC is not the DC confirmed case.

That guy was tested New Jersey. And CPAC was held at National Harbor in Maryland, I believe.

It’s two separate cases though.

The CPAC one is in New Jersey and the event was held in MD.

This is someone who is in DC and guessing from the post of the person who traveled through South Korea and still couldn’t get tested it’s probably going to be someone travel related.

It's positive. It just means the test then has to go from the local GW or wherever lab to the CDC lab for confirmation but given that they're using CDC tests -- there's next to no chance that the CDC says it's negative.

Late this afternoon, testing at the Public Health Lab at the DC Department of Forensic Sciences yielded its first presumptive positive coronavirus (COVID-19) case. Join me live at 7:30 p.m. for a briefing at the John A. Wilson Building.
