First report of #COVID19 #reinfection from #India - two #asymptomatic health workers identified on routine #surveillance

#CSIRfightsCOVID19

#Genome sequencing of the #SARSCoV2 isolates from both the episodes suggest distinctly different virus , confirming reinfection.

Since the individuals were #asymptomatic during both episodes, and identified on regular #surveillance suggest asymptomatic #reinfections could be an under-reported entity. 2/2

Sinxe #healthcare workers have much higher risk of exposure, regular #surveillance of healthcare workers could potentially uncover the real #incidence

This was possible only with wonderful collaborators from #GIMS and team at @IGIBSocial @SridharSivasub3 @RcBHOYAR @Abhinav_Jain_19 @bani_jolly @dishasharmaaa @mkdivakar @gyanranjan2197 @Paras__Sehgal and Mohd Imran
