The country is facing a terrible crisis in coronavirus. The number of patients has crossed the three crore mark and millions of people have lost their lives. So many have overcome corona after treatment.

In the last 24 hours, 67,597 new corona patients have been diagnosed. At least 1,188 people have been killed. Efforts are being made to prevent corona infection. Similarly, new information is emerging from research.

Doctors are currently receiving a number of cases in which a person who has recovered from a corona 7 to 10 days ago has relapsed symptoms of the corona. Many doctors say it is re-infected, while some say the dead virus is present.

According to scientists from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), people who develop corona symptoms again after a few days. It cannot be reinfected.

ICMR's senior scientist Dr. Sameeran Panda had conducted a study on reinfection a few days back. It found that a person could be re-infected only 102 days after healing.

If the person has just recovered from the corona and reappears with symptoms after 10-20 days or a month, it is not considered a re-infection. It is said that this is happening due to infection of virus a few days ago.

Sometimes the old virus stays in the body and reacts after a few days, but when it reacts again, only minor symptoms appear, not serious ones. Currently there are some cases in which the symptoms reappear 7 to 10 days after recovery

Our study suggests that re-infection may not occur until 102 days after recovery. If symptoms appear after 102 days, it can be called re-infection. Once you become infected, the antibodies are so strong that you are not likely to be infected again

Antibody levels remain very high for at least three months after infection, so re-infection does not occur so quickly. How long antibodies made from the Omaicron variant last is still a matter of research.

Most people recover in 7 to 10 days. But people who suffer from serious illnesses like diabetes, BP, cancer, kidney, HIV, take a long time to recover. A Hindi website has reported about this.

Every day new research is coming out about corona. One such research has now raised concerns. According to a new study, the symptoms of corona virus appear in two days, not 10 or 14 days.

The study was conducted by Imperial College London in collaboration with the DHSC and the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust on the symptoms of corona virus. During the study, a group of researchers infected some healthy people with the virus.

The test was performed on 36 healthy and unvaccinated participants who had never been infected with the virus before. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 30 years. Out of 36 participants, only 18 were infected with the corona virus and 16 had mild or severe

The researchers said that patients who were infected with the virus developed mild or severe symptoms. These symptoms develop mild to moderate, including runny nose, cold, cough, and sore throat.

None of the participants had a serious infection. Thirteen people reported a decrease in their ability to smell, which returned in 90 days. The researchers said that most patients showed only mild or moderate symptoms of the corona virus.
