Expert says no evidence of recurring COVID-19 patients spreading virus

There is no evidence that the people who tested positive for the novel coronavirus after recovery can transmit virus to others, said a Chinese expert during a press conference on Tuesday.

Some people tested positive again in central China's Hubei Province after being discharged, but there is no proof so far that they have the ability to transmit the virus to others, said Du Bin, Chairman of the Critical Care Medical Branch of the Chinese Medical Association.
