That is possible. She could have a different viral or bacterial illness or possibly a different strain of COVID 19.

More than likely it is an infection with a non-Covid virus. Of the more than 100 million people infected with this virus, only person has been documented to have a symptomatic illness from a second Covid infection. Wish you and your mother good health!
