I have also heard that several times. One expansion I read was that the test that came back negative could have been wrong. A false negative.
I have also read that none of these tests are 100%. More like in the mid 90%. I have not heard which ones, USA, S Korea, China, etc, are more accurate.
I also read that the virus can persist in the body up to 37(??) days. Not necessarily shedding/contagious, but still detectable. Not sure if you remember, but after the big ebola epidemic they were finding the virus in tears and semen (transmissible) up to 6 months after recovery.
There is still a lot we do not know about this virus.

There's one anecdotal report of a coronavirus victim who went through it, survived, tested virus-free and then got reinfected. If that's true, and there's no immunity as a side effect, this is going to be a long slog.
