Stuttgart – According to a newspaper report, more and more people who have already been infected with the corona virus are becoming infected again.
More than 70,000 people in the south-west have been infected at least twice, write the “Stuttgarter Nachrichten” and the “Stuttgarter Zeitung” (Thursday) and refer to information from the State Health Office (LGA).
As a result, the proportion of so-called reinfections in April was already 3.8 percent of all those who were proven to be infected. In December last year it was only 0.5 percent.
The newspapers write that data on this topic is now available from the health administration for the first time. A corona infection that has been detected repeatedly with a PCR test is considered reinfection.
“If you extrapolate the values from Baden-Württemberg to Germany, more than 500,000 people are likely to have been infected again since the beginning of the year,” says the report.
