The World Health Organization announced on Saturday that it is looking into reports that Cubid 19 patients recovering from the virus have been found positive again.

This is a report issued yesterday by authorities in South Korea, where 91 patients, who according to test results recovered from the virus, were tested again before being released from the hospital - and found to be carrying the virus again. Jong Yun-dong, director of the South Korean Disease Control Center, said "there is a more likely chance that the virus will become active again, ie 'reactivated' and not patients infected with it a second time."

The World Health Organization, located in Geneva, confirmed this to Reuters, saying "we are aware of some people's reports that after they were negative to Cubid 19, they were positive again." The organization also added that they were "working to get the full information about the cases in question, and that it is important to make sure in these cases that the testing process was done properly."

The matter has a critical significance in terms of the information available so far about the disease, the diagnosis of the correct form of treatment, and of course a huge economic significance regarding the return of the economy to work. The mechanism for returning workers to workplaces was based on the assumption that a person who is ill and recovering in Corona is already vaccinated. This was also the premise of the "herd vaccination", whereby the more people began and recovered, the more the community became more immune to the Corona virus.

If it becomes clear that there is indeed a possibility of reapplying in Corona, work assumptions will have to be considered again. However, it is important to say that there is a margin of error in the reliability of the corona carrier tests, and it is possible that this is the factor that has influenced the surprising results.
