A woman in Kerala has tested positive for COVID-19, a few days after she was reportedly cured of the disease.

The patient had recently returned the UAE to Kerala.

โ€œThis is worrisome,โ€ experts said after the test results came positive after getting cured.

However, the experts have ruled it out as a case of re-infection.

โ€œThis is more likely to be a case of a resurgence of the viral remnant,โ€ the experts said.

โ€œMaybe, she had not fully recovered,โ€ the experts further said citing another possibility.

It is worth mentioning here that viral remnant is a condition where the virus remains dormant even after recovery, but it doesnโ€™t show infectious tendencies as it is in a weakened state.

โ€œThe resurgence of the virus calls for a detailed study,โ€ doctors said.
