The recurrence of infection in people recovered from coronavirus†disease could create a serious challenge in tackling the pandemic as the recovered patients could be a source of virus spread in society.</p><p>Dr Subroto Mandal, cardiologist, said, "Repeat cases of corona infection show that antibodies have not been formed or its formation is very slow in patients. And it is happening with patients with comorbidities and obesity. In the second Corona wave, cases of repeat infection increased a little bit in comparison to the first wave. In the first wave, repeat cases were very few but now such cases are coming into notice."</p><p>Dr AK Shrivastava, medical superintendent of TB Hospital, said, "Patients having comorbidities already are immune suppressed and so they always have chances of contracting infection a second time. Therefore people who have recovered from the infection should not take it for granted that they would not be infected a second time as they have developed immunity. Just because of comorbidities, there are always chances of them getting infected even for the second time.
