Did Danielle and Adam Busby test positive for Covid-19? Here's the family member who got 'false positive' test
If there is any reality TV show that's absolutely big on family, it would have to be 'OutDaughtered'. As Texans, the Busby's believe in going big, and the same applies to their rather big, close-knit family.
The Busby's, along with Danielle's sisters, Ashley and Crystal and their families often spend time together. The quints and Blayke too love spending time with their cousins and grandmother, fondly known as Mimi. So it comes as no surprise that vacations are often a giant family affair.

Adam and Danielle Busby's love story: How 'OutDaughtered' went from retail store meeting to parents of quintuplets
With the Busby's home under repair and Covid-19 cases on the rise, the family of eight figured that maybe they need to spend some time away from home. Keeping the quints and Blayke stimulated through the day is no easy feat — that combined with the house repair proved to be exceptionally stressful for Adam and Danielle.
Seeing that their beach trip was a good getaway, the couple figure that a camping trip might help keep the girls busy and allow the construction crew enough time to finish up the work.

As always, this camping trip was a giant family affair, with the girls' uncles, aunts and cousins joining along. Unfortunately turns out, the quints' beloved Uncle Dale, Dale Mills, ended up testing positive for Covid-19. Since the family spends so much time together, there was immediate cause for concern — the Busby's needed to get tested too.
Adam and Danielle got tested and so did Mimi, along with the rest of the adults. Danielle was worried that if any of them got it, keeping the others away might truly be an issue because handling six kids is no walk in the park. Adam and Danielle, although worried put on a brave face for their girls.
Relief came soon enough though when they founded out that they tested negative. Even Danielle's sisters and mother tested negative, much to everyone's relief. With the RV camping trip back on, the family was a little sad that Uncle Dale couldn't join along.
Fans were rather concerned for Uncle Dale too. "@TLC As a healthcare worker, I have been wearing a mask almost non-stop since February 2020. I have had both vaccines & still I am cautious. Sorry @dalepmills had to feel that scare because more than anything, I know he doesn’t want to make his family sick. #OutDAUGHTERED" tweeted a fan.
"So how are you feeling? Just now watching the Outdaughtered episode where you found out you tested positive. Don’t know when this was filmed but I hope you remained asymptomatic and are completely recovered by now" added another. "Dale can fight the coronavirus! #OutDAUGHTERED" tweeted a fan in support. Uncle Dale himself joked about his situation, tweeting "Don’t mind me... #bubbleboy #greatmoviebytheway #outdaughtered"

But turns out, Covid-19 couldn't keep him down — he took two more tests and both turned out negative. Was it a false alarm or false negatives? Either way, he was up and about and ready to go camping with the family, all of whom were happy and healthy!
