Can i get reinfected with covid after testing positive and recovering ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID-19 Positive x2: Data on COVID-19 is limited, but other coronaviruses have never been observed to have viral reactivation. For individuals who test positive twice it is more likely that either the virus never left their system or that the test is picking up remnants of inactive viral particles. It could also be a false positive test. Isolation recommended for 10 days after symptom onset AND 3 days symptom free.
