In view of the outbreak of the corona virus, along with many other questions, one question that is on everyone's mind is whether a person can be infected with the Corona virus a second time. Now, in a new study, scientists have announced the good news. According to Forbes, a disappointing news came from South Korea a few weeks ago in which it was reported that 11 healthy patients with the corona virus had contracted the virus again. After recovering, their tests came back negative and a few days later, their tests came back positive. The news spread fear around the world that people could be affected by this contagious epidemic for the second time. The results of which have now been announced.
In the results of this study, the scientists said that all these people did not get infected with the virus a second time, but the remaining genetic material of the virus remained in their body, due to which their tests came back positive again. When they were studied, it was found that the residual genetic material of the virus in their bodies could not cause them to relapse, nor could they pass the virus on to other people. This substance remained in their body for some more time and then disappeared.
Scientists from South Korea also conducted a study on monkeys in this regard. They infected some monkeys with the corona virus and then treated them. When the monkeys recovered from the treatment, tests revealed that their bodies had developed antibodies against the corona virus. Scientists then re-infected them with the corona virus, but this time the monkey survived and the virus did not infect them. Dr Mark Court-Peters, an American epidemiologist, said: "Patients who recover from the corona virus develop antibodies in their bodies and are unlikely to be re-infected. It is not yet known how long these antibodies remain active in their body. As we know, hepatitis and some other diseases do not cause recurrence in healthy people for life but the case of influenza is different. It is also caused by a virus, but it happens again and again. Similarly, it remains to be seen how long the corona virus's antibodies remain active in the body. She is unlikely to be infected again in the next few months. ”
