Abstract

Abstract Whether persistent infections with SARS-CoV-2 exist is still unknown. This study reported a case with COVID-19 who still got positive RT-PCR test results for SARS-CoV-2 in his throat swabs about 4 months post symptom onset. This case is potentially the first direct evidence of persistent infection with SARS-CoV-2.
