A member asked:
Can someone recovered from covid-19 get it again or he/she will have developed immunity against it and not get it again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
We don't know: There have been some reported cases of people who tested PCR positive for disease, recovered and tested negative who then later had more signs of illness and tested positive. We are not exactly sure what the explanation is.
