<p class="has-drop-cap">Fifty-one people who recovered from <a href="https://occupygh.com/category/coronavirus">coronavirus</a> in South Korea have tested positive again – raising fears the virus can be reactivated.</p>



<p>The patients – from the country’s worst-hit City, Daegu – were put in quarantine after being diagnosed with the virus, then tested positive again days being released</p>



<p>Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said the virus was likely ‘reactivated’, rather than patients becoming re-infected.</p>

<p class="has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color">Scientists at the Government-run health body believe the virus may lay dormant at undetectable levels in human cells<a href="https://occupygh.com/51-recovered-coronavirus-patients-tests-positive-again">.</a></p>



<p>They say that for unknown reasons the viral particles can then be reactivated and start attacking the lungs once more.</p>



<p>But there is no evidence to prove that the virus acts in this way and studies in monkeys have actually shown the opposite.</p>



<p>Expects say in cases where patients produce a positive result twice, it is normally because of a test giving the wrong result, which happens one in five times.</p>



<p>Paul Hunter, an infectious diseases professor at the University of East Anglia, told MailOnline: ‘I agree that these will not be reinfections but I do not think these will be reactivations.</p>



<p>‘Personally I think the most likely explanation is that the clearance samples were false negative.’</p>
