Washington. cause of covid-19 pandemic SARS-CoV-2 The virus can infect a person for more than 200 days in an unusual case. This has been found in a recent study published in the journal ‘Frontiers in Medicine’. The unusual case of infection by SARS-CoV-2 was part of a study of 38 Brazilian patients conducted on a weekly basis between April and November 2020 by researchers affiliated with the Pasteur-USP Scientific Platform. This platform is based on the Pasteur Institute of France (Pasteur Institute) and the University of So Paulo (USP) of Brazil and the Osvaldo Cruz Foundation (fiocruz) is an important partnership between
Patients were kept under observation till their Kovid-19 test report came negative for two or three consecutive times by RT-qPCR. This study was called FAPESP (Sao Paulo Research Foundation) was supported by. If seen, this study is like a warning about the risk of limiting the quarantine time for patients to seven, ten or fourteen days after the Kovid-19 report comes positive. Initially, the same number of days were earmarked for quarantine under the Kovid protocol to deal with this disease. Along with this the importance of vaccination, social distancing and wearing of masks has been emphasized.
‘Virus detected in body for more than 70 days’
The first author to write the study was Marielton dos Passos Cunha (Marielton dos Passos Cunha) said, “Out of the 38 cases we tracked, two men and one woman were abnormal in the sense that the virus was detected in their bodies continuously for more than 70 days. On the basis of this result we can say that about 8 percent of the people SARS-CoV-2 and they may be able to spread the virus for more than two months, without showing any symptoms during the late stage of infection.
‘Patients remained corona positive for 71 to 232 days’
Paola Minoprio, one of the coordinators of the Pasteur-USP Scientific Platform and the study’s lead researcher (Paola Minoprio) said, “We wanted to know whether the 14-day quarantine period was really enough to stop the virus from being detectable. We concluded that this time was not enough. It may take a month for a patient to test COVID-19 negative and in some cases including our study, the patient remained corona positive for 71 to 232 days.”
