On Monday, Howard, 54, learned that she had tested positive for the novel coronavirus. After describing her symptoms, she was told someone from the District’s Department of Health would come to her apartment to test her. “We’re going to get tested,” Howard answered. “No treatment,” the woman told her mother, only now in English. Her phone rang Monday at 7:30 a.m.“You probably already know the results are positive,” the infectious disease specialist announced.
