Studies have confirmed that the antibodies in the body of people infected with covid are difficult to last, and cases of relapse in cured patients often occur. Authorities in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province reported on Wednesday (12 August 2020) that a woman who was diagnosed with infection in February was tested positive for the virus again after several months of recovery.

The Jingzhou Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters informed that on August 9, a 68-year-old retired female employee from Lianhe Street, Jingzhou Development Zone, was hospitalized due to illness and tested positive for the virus. The patient was diagnosed on February 8 and was cured again after a few months.

The official notification stated that the confirmed patient “has completely disinfected his residence and activity area, and the risk is completely controlled”. In the past, after the outbreak of the epidemic in almost every region in China, the authorities declared that "the epidemic has been effectively controlled" as usual, but the epidemics still occur one after another, and many cities have broken out twice or even three times or four times.

Since June, the epidemic has broken out again in Beijing, Xinjiang, Dalian, Hubei and other places, and spread to many surrounding provinces. Among them, the CCP has the strictest restrictions on Xinjiang and speech control. On 16 July 16, the Urumqi authorities of the Chinese Communist Party suddenly ordered the "closure of the city." Two days later (18th), Urumqi implemented closed community management again. Until 28 July, news of the closure of the city was heard in various cities in the north and south of Xinjiang. On 7 August, Urumqi again closed the countryside.

On the other hand, many European countries have recently ushered in the second wave of epidemics. After entering August, the epidemic in Spain rebounded rapidly, with an average of 1499 new cases per day, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases nationwide reached 315,000, making it the country with the largest number of confirmed cases in Europe. France added 2,288 new cases in a single day last Friday (August 7), the highest single-day increase since the release. The number of new cases in Germany has also continued to rise in recent weeks. The National Union of Doctors warned last week that there has been a second wave of epidemics in Germany. In the Netherlands, due to the rebound of the epidemic in July and August, the Dutch government will also upgrade its response measures.

According to data from Johns Hopkins University, as of 12 August, there were more than 20 million people infected with SARS-CoV-2 outside China, and more than 700,000 people died.
