What could be worse than getting the pneumonia-like illness now known as Covid-19? Getting it twice. That\u2019s what Japanese government officials say may have happened to a female tour bus guide in Osaka. The woman was first diagnosed with Covid-19 in late January, according to a statement released by Osaka\u2019s prefectural government Wednesday. She was discharged shortly after, once her symptoms had improved. A subsequent test came back negative for the virus.
