Covid 19

A 31-year-old woman in Spain was found infected with Omicron just 20 days after the delta variant of Covid. According to the researchers, this is believed to be the least difference in infection.

However, a similar case had also emerged in Delhi. In 2021, a 61-year-old doctor got Covid vaccinated. After being vaccinated, she was found infected with Covid, after testing, the woman was found infected with alpha and delta variants within 19 days.

The Spanish woman was a health worker. The woman underwent the Kovid RTPCR test on 20 December 2021 during the screening of employees at her workplace, where she was found infected with Kovid.

The woman had got both the vaccines of Kovid. Also took booster dose 12 days ago. However, after a ten-day quarantine and investigation, she returned to work.

On 10 January 2022, the woman got infected in the first Kovid test. 20 days later she had cough, fever and she was feeling generally unwell and then another RTPCR test of the woman was done where she again tested positive for covid. The patient was gripped by two different variants.

Gemma Recio of the Institut Catalla de Salut in Tarragona, Spain, said, “Recio said, people who have had Kovid-19 cannot assume that they are protected from Kovid. Even if they have been fully vaccinated “

However, he added that the previous variants and vaccination together partially protect the patient from serious illness and hospitalization.

The case report will be presented to the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 23-26 April.
