Reinfection Caused by SARS-CoV-2 | Chapter 17 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

 In this chapter, we look at the evidence of reinfection that has been recorded around the world. We also discuss the main characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. The evidence consists mostly of study cases, with a few population studies thrown in for good measure. The equipment and technique required to establish that the instance under study is a true reinfection and not a lengthy persistence of the virus in the body makes studying reinfections tough.

So far, reinfection appears to be a rare occurrence. It may, however, change as a result of the rise in different types of anxiety. The research of reinfections is critical to determining how the COVID-19 pandemic may progress in the future.
