- Modelling the COVID-19 epidemic and implementation of population-wide interventions in Italy (2020, background): “We omit the probability rate of becoming susceptible again, after having already recovered from the infection, since its value appears to be negligible (although not zero) based on early evidence [28, 29].”
- Quantitative Detection and Viral Load Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in Infected Patients (2020, background): “There may be intermittent virus shedding, leading to nucleic acid results being positive again in patients who recovered from COVID-19 [20].”
- Unique epidemiological and clinical features of the emerging 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID‐19) implicate special control measures (2020, background): “However, some of cured and discharged patients later have been tested positive by RT‐PCR.(45) Presumably, many factors mentioned”
- A systematic review of asymptomatic infections with COVID-19 (2020, neutral): “However, due to the limitations of specimen collection and detection methods, the influence of the high false-negative rate of the RT-PCR should be paid attention to, which may lead to missed diagnosis or delay in effective diagnosis.(30) For this purpose, the combination of repeated nucleic acid de”
- Automated detection of COVID-19 cases using deep neural networks with X-ray images (2020, neutral): “Diagnostic tests performed after 5 – 13 days are found to be positive in recovered patients [52].”
