Hong Kong researchers confirm first case of COVID-19 reinfection

Hong Kong researchers say, they have found what they call the world's first confirmed, re-infected case of COVID-19: a 33-year-old man who recovered from the disease in April, tested positive again after returning from the UK and Spain. Researchers have sequenced the two virus strains and found different genomes. Scientists say this proves that immunity for coronavirus infection is not life-long. Hong Kong on Monday reported nine new cases. This was the first time new cases dropped to the single digits since early July. This morning, HKSAR's leader talked to the press about government efforts to tackle the virus, including the planned citywide testing.
