Abstract
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has posed a large problem to this world and has exposed the skeleton of healthcare system all over. There have been reports of patients getting reinfected with COVID-19 as they tested positive for the virus again after discharge. We try to address the issue of this reinfection and want to clarify whether this entity actually exists or is it just a myth.Keywords
