Once you get over COVID, it can bounce right back: The Wake Up for Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2024 (Covers a bunch of stories: Covid highlighted here)
COVID-19 cases have been on an upward swing for 10 straight weeks, to 6,660 new cases in Ohio last week.
That total marked the highest number of new cases since mid-February; it is more than double the number at the same time last year.
And a percentage of people suffering from COVID will experience a second bout of the virus after they thought they were in the clear. That’s known as a rebound.
COVID rebound is a return of symptoms or a new positive test three to seven days after someone initially recovers from COVID-19.
Think of it as a last hurrah, only it’s nothing to celebrate.
Initially, the COVID rebound was referred to as “Paxlovid rebound” because it was believed that symptoms returned after starting the antiviral medication. But about one-in-five Paxlovid patients rebound, not far off from the general population.
As kids go back to school this fall and we all head inside, remember that if you rebound, you’re still contagious. Wear a mask.
