Gábor Kemenesi, a Pécs virologist and researcher, regrets that there is news that anyone who has already had a coronavirus infection can go anywhere. According to the expert, although there is very little close monitoring of the reinfection event, it cannot be ruled out that a person who has already fought the disease may be reinfected.
“It is easy for our immunity to result in a favorable reinfection, but it allows the virus to be transmitted, so we can re-infect ourselves,” says virologist Gábor Kemenesi. An employee of the Virology Laboratory of the János Szentágothai Research Center of the University of Pécs shared his opinion on the Facebook page about whether people with the disease can safely visit their relatives.
Gábor Kemenesi writes that according to the knowledge of science so far, active and well-functioning cellular immunity develops for at least six months (studied so far), but the practical operation of immunity can best be imagined on a scale .
The most favorable degree of this is the so-called sterilizing immunity: then we can no longer contract the virus, so we cannot transmit it. We may be able to get it again, but we will endure it as a mild or asymptomatic infection so that we cannot pass it on. Of course, there are other ratings on the scale, but based on current scientific knowledge and a close observation of the very few reinfection events, the answer is not yet known:
– says the researcher, who said that it is easy for a favorable course of reinfection to allow the virus to be transmitted, so that we can infect again.
To the question of whether reinfected people have a role in transmitting the disease? We do not know. So, for the moment, the recommendations of the European Center for Disease Prevention, the American Center for Disease Prevention and all other professional organizations are as follows: everyone, regardless of previous infection, should take the same precautions.
– underlines the expert, who says that the key word is still “we do not know”, and the population tends to forget it.
