Six patients had tested positive for COVID-19 in Dr. Monica Williams's Huntsville ER room as of Monday, though she said that number may have been low.
"I'm aware of at least two people who were hospitalized, whose initial tests were negative, whose subsequent tests were positive," she said.
She thinks that could be because viral counts are too small for detection at some phases of the disease.
