- South Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) concluded a study of nearly 300 patients who retested positive after surviving COVID-19.
- The KCDC explained the patients were not infectious, and they were immune to the disease despite some of them showing symptoms.
- The second positive test likely detected dead fragments of the virus. As a result, KCDC changed its approach to handling people who test positive again.

An increasing number of alarming reports have said in the past few weeks that some COVID-19 patients who recovered tested positive for the novel coronavirus a second time. Doctors were unable to explain these occurrences, but believed that it was unlikely those patients had actually been reinfected.
However, countries like China placed them in quarantine to observe them. Similar reports came from other countries as well, including Korea, where the local CDC reported in mid-April that hundreds of patients had tested positive again. The medical authority observed the evolution of the new patients in the weeks since then, and delivered the best possible preliminary news about coronavirus reinfections: It’s not a relapse.
