Researchers in US confirm case of reinfection

Researchers in the US have reported the country’s first confirmed case of coronavirus reinfection.

A 25-year-old man with no known immune disorders or underlying conditions was infected with Covid-19 on two separate occasions, according to a study published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal.
