NEW YORK, Jan 15 — The following is a summary of some recent studies on Covid-19. They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that has yet to be certified by peer review.After a five-day quarantine, about a third of people infected with SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, might still be infectious, according to new data.

“At five days, 30 per cent of people still exhibited clinically relevant levels of potentially active virus,” said study leader Lorna Harries of the University of Exeter Medical School in England. In the meantime, they suggest, in facilities “where onward transmission would be especially problematic, it may be prudent to obtain molecular evidence of remission to prevent ongoing transmission.

The inflammation caused by the coronavirus and the inflammation induced by vaping may combine to worsen the likelihood of inflammation throughout the body, with a resulting increase in symptoms, Vassallo and his colleagues suggested.An experimental drug originally being developed to treat influenza is showing promise against SARS-CoV-2 and might defend against Covid-19 from two different directions, researchers said.
