This happened early on with COVID-19. Testing was sparse and focused on those that had traveled or had known contacts with infected individuals, meanwhile there was community spread and retroactive testing of samples from blood donors found that some samples tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies even though they were collected before the first CDC confirmed infections in the US.
