Dr. Farida Al Hosani, the official spokesperson of the UAE health sector, affirmed that research is ongoing regarding the possibility of reinfection after recovery but stressed that there are no cases to date in the country for reinfections.
“The UAE did not record any such case, but there were some cases in other countries because such cases may not have recovered completely or were not subject to thorough testing before leaving the hospital to ensure they were asymptomatic,” she remarked.
In general, she continued, the effects of infection may vary case-by-case depending on the strength of one’s immune system and lifestyle.
