KINGMAN – Medical providers recently took a swab sample from a patient with respiratory symptoms who came to the KRMC emergency room.  The sample was subsequently sent to a reference laboratory for testing. The test results were returned Wednesday, March 18, which were inconclusive.

This means that COVID-19 has not been ruled out, nor has it been confirmed definitively. At this time, this is not a presumptive positive nor a confirmed positive.

However, the patient has been advised to self-quarantine and the case should be managed as positive until further testing determines conclusive results.
