The increasing numbers of infections and the serious situation of Covid-19 in the country, have added to the dilemmas and insecurities of every citizen, including those who have passed the disease.
Last night, invited to "Real Story", the director of IPH Albana Fico spoke about the reinfection by Covid-19. How at risk are people who have passed the virus once and is there a chance of passing it again?
According to Ficos, there have been cases of reinfection, but they have been few in number. In addition, from the experience so far, the second infection has not been associated with complications.
"Reinfection means getting the same disease, but it happens because of the change that the strain has undergone.
We have not many people, in that group of strains that we have singled out there are 18 and none of them has been hospitalized. They have had in their cards either asymptomatic or mild forms that have not caused concern and we strongly doubt that this comes from facing a new strain. I want to bring you one thing to note, in a study done in South America, the percentage of reinfections as a result of infection was 2%. "Reinfection is a thing to remember, but it does not carry a weight to cause complications," she said.
