China finding recovered patients retesting positive up to 70 days.

China has disclosed that they have patients who recovered from the virus in early February, taking negative tests twice two days apart and being released from hospital. They have been monitored since and some now test positive repeatedly despite showing no symptoms.
These patients are now being held in isolation at government expense undergoing repetitive testing some continuing to test positive for 70 days and more. Medical specialists do not know if they are capable of infecting others.South Korea has observed very similar in some of their recovered patients and Italy has said they have seen some who have retested positive for 30 plus days after initially testing negative. This would obviously indicate our recommendation of 14 days isolation for patients who have have been deemed as cured is not nearly long enough.

Don't believe anything that China says. South Korea is believable. China isn't. They don't know if the tests are seeing a positive from residual from a former case of COVID or a new case of COVID. They don't know a lot of stuff.
