She caught Covid for the first time in the second week of March and for a second time in June. No other details about her were released. Professor Van Ranst, of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, said the case shows antibodies the patient developed during the first bout of the disease were not enough to prevent a second case. However, other scientists have suggested that there is another form of immunity that can prevent severe disease, in the form of disease-fighting T cells. Professor Van Ranst said it is not clear whether such cases are rare, or whether there are 'many more people who could have a re-infection after six or seven months'.
It comes after doctors in Hong Kong yesterday claimed to be the first in the world to prove a patient was struck down twice. The researchers, from the University of Hong Kong, said: 'This case illustrates that re-infection can occur after just a few months of recovery from the first infection. But the unidentified man did not have symptoms of Covid the second time — he was only discovered through screening at an airport.

When scientists analyse the DNA of pathogens, they can spot any changes, which can make them weaker or deadlier. This is a very rare example of re-infection and it should not negate the global drive to develop COVID vaccines. But one scientists said the report from Hong Kong was 'worrying for several reasons'.
If antibodies don't provide lasting protection, we will need to revert to a strategy of viral near-elimination in order to return to a more normal life. Professor Andrew Pollard said if reinfections were a problem, it would mean vaccines needed to be adjusted accordingly.

Hong Kong researchers insisted their finding does not mean taking vaccines will be useless. Dr Kai-Wang To, study co-author, said: 'Immunity induced by vaccination can be different from those induced by natural infection.

Belgian broadcaster VRT also reported a case of reinfection had been confirmed in Belgium. Experts have reacted with caution to the new findings, as it remains to be seen if these are rare cases.
