The family of a 13-year-old boy is left grieving and confused after the teen tested negative for the coronavirus yet died a few days later in the United States. Maxx Cheng had been isolating in his room after experiencing COVID-19 symptoms including fever, cough, nausea, chest pains and vomiting, as per CBS-owned KCBS-TV last Friday, July 17. A few days later their mother got Maxx tested for the coronavirus and the result came back negative. “His symptoms matched, but then the test came out negative,” Charlotte was quoted as saying. An autopsy report is expected to arrive in the days to come to determine whether or not Maxx had COVID-19.
