WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF RE-INFECTION?


    As with other Covids, for example, those that cause the normal cold, SARS-CoV-2 can reinfect individuals. There have been numerous reports of reinfection, including a 25-year-elderly person in the US who tried positive two times. The Lancet detailed that "the subsequent disease was apparently more serious than the first."

    Regardless of whether you have had a test that distinguishes antibodies, reinfection is as yet conceivable, albeit more uncertain.

    Antibodies are just one piece of the huge, complex insusceptible reaction that is gotten rolling when an individual becomes tainted with an infection like SARS-CoV-2 so having antibodies isn't to the point of ensuring long haul insurance.

    In many individuals, contamination with SARS-CoV-2 can prompt purported 'long COVID' - where individuals experience the ill effects of the infection. This can be caused straight by the infection reproducing over significant stretches, or by implication with side effects, similar to weakness, fluctuating even after the infection is available in their body.

    How to Protect Yourself and Others

    • Get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can. Find a vaccine here. Everyone 12 years and older should get a booster shot when eligible.
    • Consistently and correctly wear a well-fitting mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others.
    • Stay 6 feet apart from others.
    • Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces.
    • Know when to test to be informed and prevent spread to others.
    • Wash your hands often with soap and water and dry thoroughly. Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water aren’t available.
