Abstract

The incidence of re-positive virus detection in patients who recovered from COVID-19 during quarantine was 6.2% in two designated locations, in Wuhan, indicating that suggestions for patients after discharge to be quarantined before leaving for home might be necessary. This experience might be referred to by other countries with epidemic outbreak.
