The coronavirus keeps on giving

Researchers in the US have reported the country’s first confirmed case of coronavirus reinfection.

A 25-year-old man with no known immune disorders or underlying conditions was infected with Covid-19 on two separate occasions, according to a study published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal. The authors said further research was required, but added the findings indicated previous exposure to the virus may not guarantee total immunity, and that all individuals should comply with control measures.

It is the fifth confirmation of reinfection worldwide, researchers said, with at least four other cases confirmed in Belgium, the Netherlands, Hong Kong and Ecuador.

The second infection of the patient, who lives in Washoe County, Nevada, was more severe [fever, headache, dizziness, cough, nausea and diarrhoea] than the first and resulted in hospitalisation with oxygen support.

Genetic sequencing of the virus showed he was infected twice by different strains of Sars-CoV-2, according to researchers.

Just great.
