‘Only had it seven weeks ago’: More people report COVID-19 reinfection

With her daughter wearing a jumper in bed under two blankets, complaining of flu symptoms, Kara Lee knew all the signs were there.

She said she wouldn’t be surprised if more people in her family were reinfected, as her four children attended three different schools. “We didn’t even isolate [from each other in the house] this time – there’s no point.”A NSW Health spokesperson was unable to provide the number of people who have had COVID-19 twice, but said they were “aware of cases where people have been reinfected with the virus that causes COVID-19”.

“The chance of Omicron reinfection is very low,” said Deakin University chair of epidemiology Professor Catherine Bennett, citing the Danish study and also booster uptake. Hayley Edwards, from Bankstown, caught COVID-19 for the first time in August, before she had been vaccinated. Since then, the 28-year-old has lived with ongoing symptoms after her infection. “Things don’t taste and smell the way that I know food and drinks should,” she said.

“It is certainly uncommon to get severely ill, as in go to hospital, or die from a reinfection. But that’s not to say people don’t feel unwell for four or five days.”

marywardy Music to Pfizer's ears, keep it up!

marywardy Nonsense! What’s your proof it was covid again? Because you tested positive 7 weeks later? 🤦🏻‍♀️ NSW Health itself advises ppl u can test pos for 8 weeks and the US won’t retest for 90 days after having covid

marywardy You can get the flu more than once yep. And we've known for a century there's no cure for colds or flu but one just needs to let them run their course develop naturally occurring antibodies and that's how the immune system works. Don't skip biology classes in future
