While cases of re-infection with covid-19 are quite rare, a 19-year-old young man residing in Tarbes, Hautes-Pyrénées, France is ill for the third time. Admittedly, the high school student would not have, according to the statements of relatives, not necessarily respected to the letter the wearing of the mask or the barrier gestures.
But cases of re-contamination with Coronavirus twice in less than seven months are extremely rare. Perhaps the virus variants have something to do with it?
As much the first two times had been almost devoid of symptoms, as a relative of the patient confirms that this third episode is more virulent. Not only, the young man contracted the disease several times but it seems to be gaining strength each time …
The first infection dates back to June 2020, according to information from the Semaine des Pyrénées. In October 2020, the high school student is positive again but the symptoms are mild.
The young Tarbais is, at the end of May 2021, once again suffering from Covid and the symptoms are much stronger this time. He suffers from loss of taste, body aches, severe headaches and high fever, and has great difficulty falling asleep.
3 infections in 11 months verified and validated each time by positive covid PCR tests.
Contacted by France 3 Occitanie, a relative of the young man indicates that he is currently “not in great shape to say the least and not in a state to testify”. (Source: franceinfo)
