Minnesota reports first COVID-19 reinfection numbers

Health commissioner says reinfections offer proof that previous COVID-19 is not surefire protection

COVID-19 hasn't been a once-in-a-lifetime event for Big Lake substitute teacher Rebecca Schwirtz - or for more than 8,000 Minnesotans like her who have tested positive more than once for the infectious disease.

Reinfection with the coronavirus has meant two prolonged COVID-19 illnesses, two basement isolations and two extended absences from work for Schwirtz and has made the 40-year-old mother of three paranoid about subsequent sniffles or coughs.

"Whoever is making these home COVID tests is making a killing," Schwirtz said, "because I buy them - as many as I can get."
