Kullar said. Kullar, also a member of the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), explained patients who recoverfrom the novel coronavirus can shed viral fragments for weeks, giving some tests a positive result even though the virus is no longer live. But the 33-year-old mans case is a different scenario, Kullar noted.
