Letter: Meaning of presumptive positive

Billy Joe Fudge writes:

My Mother is a resident at Summit Manor so this COVID-19 event is serious to me and I usually ask questions when I do not understand something.

(A) What qualifies as a "Presumptive Positive" case and

(B) What criteria leads you to "believe COVID-19 to be widespread", "regardless of the confirmed case count for any Lake Cumberland County"?

Billy Joe, thanks for writing, and sorry that your mother has to be in the middle of a difficult situation.

According to the CDC, a "presumptive positive" is "A presumptive positive result is when a patient has tested positive by a public health laboratory, but results are pending confirmation at CDC. For public health purposes, a presumptive positive result using the CDC test is treated as a positive."

We're waiting on word from the Health Department for official reasoning on the assumption that it's already "widespread."
