MILAN - A small study by researchers in Italy has found that Covid-19 patients who were tested for the coronavirus at a hospital there in May had fewer virus particles than those who were tested a month earlier.

Alberto Zangrillo, head of intensive care at Italy's San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, said at the time that his comments would be reinforced by soon-to-be published research co-led by fellow scientist Massimo Clementi. The researchers analysed 200 nasopharyngeal swabs taken at the San Raffaele hospital. Half were from patients treated in April - at the pandemic's peak - and half were from patients treated in May.
