NEW DELHI: While the government continues with tests, isolation and treatment of covid-19 patients, a new concern has surfaced -- relapse of infection among those cured of the disease.
Since not much is known about the behaviour of the virus, a few such cases in India have left doctors perturbed. A 59-year-old Philippine national, who had been admitted to Kasturba Hospital in Mumbai on 13 March with symptoms, later died at Hiranandani Hospital.
He had tested positive for covid-19 but had later tested negative in two subsequent tests after treatment, which the state government said proves that he recovered from the infection.
