In the first confirmed case of its kind in the United States, a young Nevada man has been re-infected with the CCP virus, the virus that causes COVID-19, with the second wave of illness far more severe than the first, a recent study shows.

The case study, published Monday in the Lancet Medical Journal, looked at a 25-year-old Washoe County man, who, in the space of two months, tested positive for two genetic variants of COVID-19, marking the fifth confirmed reinfection case worldwide.
