Geneva councillor tests positive for second time

Nathalie Fontanet - wikipedia

The Geneva State Councillor, Nathalie Fontanet, has tested positive for Covid for a second time.

She fought off the infection this time last year. She remains at home and says she’s continuing to work. 

While it’s known people can be infected more than once – it is very rare. 

Professor Antoine Flahault from the University of Geneva says there are no guarantees that people who have had it once, or who have been vaccinated, will not get infected. But he says it does normally mean the infection will be less severe.
