Note that the protocol was followed for the "previous two weeks". The incubation period can easily be two weeks[1], so the infection could have happened earlier.

That said, more than 98% of corona cases involve fever[2] so this might have been something else.

98% of hospitalized patients had fever. Not all infections as per the link you cite.

Interesting, earlier reporting said that it frequently presented without a fever. I know that now they basically won’t even test you if you don’t have a fever. I wonder what’s correct.
