The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday that it was looking into reports of some COVID-19 patients testing positive again after initially testing negative for the disease while being considered for discharge.

The Geneva-based WHO, asked about the report from Seoul, told Reuters in a brief statement: “We are aware of these reports of individuals who have tested negative for COVID-19 using PCR testing and then after some days testing positive again. According to the WHO’s guidelines on clinical management, a patient can be discharged from hospital after two consecutive negative results in a clinically recovered patient at least 24 hours apart, it added.

“We are aware that some patients are PCR positive after they clinically recover, but we need systematic collection of samples from recovered patients to better understand how long they shed live virus,” it said.

NaijaFlyingDr Quick question, has it been proven that after recovery, you can no longer contract the virus?

If true, would any of you really be willing to live life as a slave in a dwelling under authoritarian rule for an indeterminate time? I value freedom over prolonged life as a caged animal.

I hope this is incorrect

That was out there weeks ago,and they acting now?

Man made virus. No natural immunity. No vaccine.

WHO is a bunch of idiots who have no idea what they are doing

most likely a false negative caused a discharge for these patients... i hope thats the case... :(

The WHO is a scam....

Translation: We may have missed you the first time, so let us have another crack.

China started something they can't control.

If these reports are accurate, we are screwed ..

Who cares what the WHO is looking at? Let me know when we get more info on this from credible sources like South Korea.

Bad done, WHO! You are not working.

Their tests aren't that great?

I don’t know who says that

1.7 million people globally infected | more than 100,000 deaths Latest updates | cases per million population 👇 CoronaVirusUpdates COVID__19

Lord_Sugar I saw this in relation to your question yesterday. I am reading it as either reinfected or perhaps the test that gave them the all clear was flawed.

Shot of WorldHealthOrg2 doing such work...

CoronaVirus is mutating 🤔

China and South Korea has reported before and cases seem to be on the rise. Would be interesting to see if it’s the same in other countries. Still a lot to learn about this virus.

I asking myself: is everyone retarded ? this information is SO old. This is known since FEB 2020 from Wuhan Doctors and Hospitals! geez.....

Documented in China already. People seem to be missing this for some reason.

The WuhanHealthOrganization has no clue what's going on right now. They totally lost track and credibility

Are we supposed to believe them now?

It is because of Chinese tests why Governments don’t sue China and who ?

When are they going 'look into' China's lies and deceptions ?

China (Wuhan in particular) already reported many such patients in the past 2 weeks.

Oh NO !!!

Surprise...... Just like how WHO said when virus started spreading

Surprised they aren't just asking China...
