Coronavirus: Fears that Virus may lay dormant in cells as 51 Patients test Positive again
51 patients in South Korea that had tested Negative were reported to have tested positive again days after being released, with this development, South Korean Health practitioners believe that Coronavirus may lay dormant in cells of the human body and reactivate later after it has been cured.
According to the Korea Center for Disease Control (KCDC), for unknown reasons the viral particles can be reactivated after the patients have been cured but US Viral experts say there is no evidence to prove that the virus acts in this way as monkeys have actually shown the opposite when studied.
Reports have it that similar cases have been recorded in China. The patients were put in quarantine and the virus was likely ‘reactivated’, rather than patients becoming reinfected.
