BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Alabama football coach Nick Saban made it back to the big game this Saturday against Georgia. It turned out the coach had a false positive test for COVID-19.
How common are those false positive tests? More often they you think.
Jefferson County Health Department’s Dr. Wesley Willeford and other doctors nationally said it’s rare, especially for a PCR test, but it does happen. Coach Saban shocked the Crimson Tide nation when he announced last week he had tested positive for the coronavirus.
“Assume everyone you might come into contact with might be infected. You might be infected and not know it.” Saban said.
