What does “screened positive” mean then?

Not that I trust the press in any manner...but this is what I read earlier.

Screened positive= exhibits some signs of the disease or has been in contact with someone who has it.

Tests positive= blood tests tell the tale.

Why this person was released? Maybe they have expedited the blood test. But I doubt it.

‘screened positive’ means that they had reported either travel or contact with a known Ebola patient.

Not ‘tested positive’.

From that way I’m reading the article, the CDC said that this person was low risk, that they didn’t have Ebola, and that they could go home.
