Why? Why should she apologise? Nobody did anything wrong. The 1st test came positive, the second negative. He had symptoms of COVID19. Should anybody be getting angry that we just do not have all the answers, and do not understand this virus fully? There were many cases around the world, who tested positive, few days another test came back negative and week (?) later they got sick and another test confirmed they had COVID. Yes, it is sad this man died, and the whole town was tested unnecessarily, but why do people feel they need to blame somebody. Especially, when what was done was done to protect them. This man had symptoms for weeks, he should have been tested weeks ago, and maybe if he sought medical opinion, he would still be alive.
There should always be two tests sampled at the same time because testing is far from 100% accurate , except for lab blood test for SARS-CoV-2 ( the actual virus)

There were. But there was not enough blood for the second, so that one was inconclusive; it is not always easy to get blood out of dead body.

Yes, hope people will read the link. I look around bewildered at people complaining that they cannot go to hairdresser, or that roadworks, which are fixing bad part of road/intersection, mean they have to drive 2 km out of their way....
