A member asked:

Can i be reinfected with the same covid i just had. so let's say i coughed on my blanket often while i had covid, if that blanket was not washed. would i be able to catch that covid that is on the blanket? i don't know another scenario?

Not with the same COVID. You can catch a variant of the virus but cant 're-infect' yourself with the same strain with the scenario you describe.

The covid you had is unique and will die on your blanket in hours. If you had a sleep over and that person was infected with another strain or variant, you and your blanket are at risk for infection.
