Reinfection of COVID-19: Prevention and Management
COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has spread since its emergence in late 2019, leading to widespread morbidity and mortality worldwide. Though global vaccination programs have been implemented and have helped to stem the tide of the pandemic, concerns have arisen due to the emergence of new variants and the potential for reinfection. Compared to no reinfection, reinfection has additional risks of death, hospitalization, and sequelae regardless of vaccination status, and the transmission of the virus to others can contribute to the ongoing spread of the disease. As such, understanding the risk factors, severity, and effective interventions for preventing and managing reinfection is crucial in reducing the burden on healthcare systems and society as a whole.
