A follow-up study shows that recovered patients with re-positive PCR test in Wuhan may not be infectious

14 Mar 2021

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Previous studies showed that recovered coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients can have a subsequent positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) after they are discharged from the hospital. Understanding the epidemiological characteristics of recovered COVID-19 patients who have a re-positive test is vital for preventing a second...
