Seattle man becomes THIRD American to have been infected twice with COVID-19 - Daily Mail

The unidentified man, who is in his 60s, first contracted COVID-19 in March at a nursing home in Washington state and became so ill that he had to be hospitalized for 40 days.

Five months later, in July, he tested positive again after moving to a different facility, but this time his illness was mild and he recovered.

A Seattle nursing home resident in his 60s first tested positive for the coronavirus on March 6 and then again on July 29.

According to a pre-print published last month, the man, who has a history of severe emphysema, tested positive for the virus on March 6.

In July, after moving to another nursing home, the patient reported that he had been exposed to residents who were coughing.   .

He was sent to the ER on July 29 after coughing for two weeks and having difficulty breathing, where he tested positive for the second time.

The second is a 42-year-old male clinician who works at a military hospital in Virginia who tested positive in March and then again in May.
