Today we had our first positive case in a few weeks, which is a bit of a setback.
The individual traveled overseas several months ago and got back into the country before lockdown measures got put in place and always stayed in confinement.

So it is a little disconcerting that an individual can show symptoms several months after the fact, but it is what it is.

I think the Government will hold off on easing restrictions because of it for the immediate future.

That's a long time for symptoms to develop and I thought they were saying that it doesn't have a dormant state.

Any chance they lived in a tight quarters apartment?  Picked it up from a visitor (food/groceries delivery)?

It happens more often

Apparently all the re-infections in South Korea were due to tests picking up old traces, could it be that? Or is it possible there are more typhoid Marys walking around with covid19.
