Japan is reporting its first case of a person becoming reinfected with the coronavirus after showing signs they had fully recovered, according to Reuters.
Osakas prefectural government confirmed Wednesday a woman working as a tour bus guide tested positive for coronavirus for the second time after developing a sore throat and chest pain. The woman, who is said to be in her 40s, first tested positive in late January and was discharged from the hospital on Feb. 1 after showing signs of recovery.
Reuters reports Health Minister Katsunobu Kato said the government would need to monitor the condition of others who were infected and later discharged as health experts investigate testing positive for COVID-19 after an initial recovery.
As much remains unknown about the virus, cases of reinfection have health experts worried that the illness could remain dormant after an apparent recovery.
Once you have the infection, it could remain dormant with minimal symptoms, Philip Tierno Jr., professor of microbiology and pathology at New York University, told Reuters.
And then you can get an exacerbation if it finds its way into the lungs, he said.
There have been a number of cases of reinfection in China, particularly in Wuhan province where the coronavirus outbreak originated in late December.
