COLUMBIA A spokesperson for MU Health Care confirmed that about 100 COVID-19 tests have gone missing.

"We are investigating this issue in collaboration with our testing partner and are in the process of making contact with patients affected by this incident," MU Health Care spokesperson Eric Maze said. "To date, MU Health Care has completed more than 28,000 tests and believes this is an isolated incident."

MU student Hanna Roberts had one of the tests that went missing.She went through the University Hospital's drive-thru testing on Monday to get tested for COVID-19.

"They told us for positive results they call for and negative they don't," Roberts said. "So, positive they said they'd call us within 24-48 hours. By the time they called us to tell us they lost it, it had been like 80-85 hours. At that point since they didn't call, we though we were negative."

Roberts said she is frustrated that she has to keep waiting to get her test results.

They told us we could come in and they would test it within 5 hours and then they still havent havent gotten the results back again," she said. So, this was all yesterday. They just called us and didnt seem like they cared very much honestly.

Roberts said the testing mishap was a source of stress.

"I mean it was super unprofessional how that happened and I think the thing with it is, some people aren't that worried about coronavirus and I am awful with health anxiety," she said. "I have been freaking out for days about it."

Roberts said MU Health Care told her that they should have her results in by midnight Friday, but said she is worried it will be delayed again.

Katielynn Walton, a Sturgeon resident, got tested with her husband after she was exposed to the virus from someone at her school.

She said she knew something was wrong when she didn't get her results.

Im immunocompromised and I have asthma and a few things," she said. "I was exposed from someone at school so I was really like 'we need these tests asap' and I had been looking on the website and reaching out to my medical friends and things like that and it never even showed up.

Walton said MU Health Care told her she and her husband could get retested for free and the original test that went missing would also be free. She said her husband got tested Friday and got a negative result back the same day.
