In a paper published in the new edition of the Irish Medical Journal (IMJ), medics report that a 40 year old female health care worker contracted Covid-19 seven months after first falling ill with the disease last year.
The paper counts consultant virologist and Laboratory Director of the National Virus Reference Laboratory at UCD, Dr Cillian de Gascun as one of its co-authors.
They state “to our knowledge, this is the first report of re-infection from Ireland”.
