Popis: Many unanswered questions remain about COVID-19 infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus One such looming concern is the possibility of reinfection of recovered cases We conducted a literature review on various aspects of this possibility, including the case presentations of relapsed/re-infected patients, the immune response of production of neutralizing antibodies, immunity in response to coronavirus during SARS-CoV2 and MERS, possibility of false-positive results of real-time polymerase chain reaction We concluded that further studies are required to establish whether relapse or reinfection is possible firmly However, these possibilities point towards the needs of change in the protocol of isolation, quarantine, and discharge It also undermines the role of the upcoming vaccine in disease prevention and treatment © 2020, Editorial board of Journal of Experimental Biology and Agricultural Sciences All rights reserved
