There is no current test to know if you have already had covid.
So a negative test just means it isn't present.
People who took the test because they were exposed to someone positive could have never caught it, or could have had covid and recovered.

That's not my question. If you test positive for COVID. You need to test negative twice after your symptoms subside in order to be classified as recovered.
So, how many of these negative tests are because people who once tested positive, are now in recovery mode and are starting to test negative?
Conversely, how many positives are from people testing positive multiple times waiting for the virus to work its way out to get the negative results?

They can test your blood for antibodies but it is too labor intensive to do on everyone.
They are currently testing some quick tests that work like the HIV tests they use in Africa, these tests are about a month from approval and then another month from roll out. They want to know how many have had it before the second wave in the fall.
