25-year-old man becomes first in U.S. to get coronavirus twice, with second infection 'more severe'

The resident of Washoe County, who had no known immune disorders or history of significant underlying conditions, required hospital treatment on testing positive for Covid-19 for the second time.

He has now recovered, though the case raises further questions about the prospect of developing protective immunity against the coronavirus. The patient's initial symptoms fully resolved during isolation on April 27.
