A member asked:
Can someone who is recovered from covid-19 still infect you with the novel coronavirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19: Theoretically, it was assumed by many that you would not get re-infected with the same virus once you had already recovered from a COVID 19 infection. However, that assumption has been called into question since individuals in Korea who had recovered and tested negative for virus, later tested positive. Testing was by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing . So, we don't know.

I have just recovered from COVID, but my spouse has now tested positive. I am the only one who leaves my house, so I was the one who infected her. Do I still need to quarantine as if I've been newly exposed to COVID? I have Pfizer vaccine/booster. TY?
