India's first COVID-19 patient infected again
New Delhi: A student from Kerala's Thrissur region, who was the first Indian to test positive for Covid-19 after returning to India with the outbreak of the pandemic in January 2020, has been infected again, media reports said.
According to reports, she is asymptomatic.
The student was enrolled at a medical college in China.
The student was found to have been reinfected after she was retested as she planned to travel to Delhi, reports Hindustan Times.
She has been put under home quarantine, her family told the newspaper.
The family said she is showing no visible symptoms and that she has also been administered the first Covid-19 vaccine dose.
The student last year told Hindustan Times she never thought she will be infected but once she was diagnosed with the infection, her main concern was her family members and others who she met after returning home.
