Does Covid reinfection bring more health risks – or make you ‘super immune’?

The debate over the risks of reinfections - which are likely to continue - could determine what precautions people take, but experts disagree on the data

A recent study states that Covid-19 reinfections could pose additional risks to people's long-term health - as compared to only getting Covid once - however, some infectious disease experts in the US disagree that there is evidence showing repeat infections are more dangerous.

The issue of the impact of repeated infections is becoming a crucial one in the United States as the Covid-19 pandemic is now tailing off amid a widespread relaxation of any social distancing or restrictions, which has seen many people catch the virus two or more times.
