Re-illness of COVID-19 is possible after the end of immunity after an illness, with frequent contact with sick people, and also in case of weakened immunity due to taking any medications. This was stated by the infectious disease doctor Evgeny Timakov on February 7.
“Coronavirus infection should not initially induce lifelong immunity. This is not chickenpox, “RIA Novosti quotes him.
As Timakov recalled, people get sick with diseases caused by coronaviruses every year, and every 3-4 years a disease caused by one pathogen is repeated.
The day before, Timakov said that COVID-19 mutations most often occur in patients with long-term illness. We are talking about a period of three months. This duration of COVID-19 is observed in people with an immunodeficiency condition.
Earlier, on February 7, it became known that a resident of Great Britain, Lenny Jones, turned yellow completely due to a rare body reaction to a coronavirus infection. At the same time, the man became the twelfth patient with such a symptom in the country. In addition to the strange skin reaction, Jones said he was short of breath.
