홍콩서 코로나 재감염 사례 발생… 4개월만에 양성 판정
A man in Hong Kong has been re-infected with COVID-19, just a matter of months after he was first infected.
Researchers at the University of Hong Kong says the 33-year-old was cleared of COVID-19 and discharged from hospital in April.
But he tested positive again in mid-August after returning from a trip to Europe.
He was found to have contracted a different strain from the one he previously had.
Despite concerns, the World Health Organization says people should not to jump to conclusions based on the circumstances of one patient.
