Coronavirus can be contagious during a Paxlovid rebound, researchers warn, even if people don't have symptoms

People who have a Covid-19 rebound after treatment with the antiviral drug Paxlovid can be contagious and may not know it because they might not have symptoms, researchers warn

.

"People who experience rebound are at risk of transmitting to other people, even though they're outside what people accept as the usual window for being able to transmit," said Dr. Michael Charness of the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Boston.

Charness' team has done its own comparison study, however, and found something different. When researchers looked at 1,000 cases of Covid-19 diagnosed between December and March in players and support staff of the National Basketball Association who had not taken the drug, they didn't find any cases of Covid-19 returning. This study is still unpublished.They say more research is needed to understand whether there could be any connection to the drug.
