I came down with covid on 25th Nov. Tested positive about 4 days in. Now I feel exactly the same again. Is it possible to catch it twice so close together? I haven't tested yet as it took a few days to show last time. I know it may not be covid but I feel exactly the same as last time but a teeny tiny bit less rough! I'm wondering if I just never properly shook it off rather than have caught it again?

I don't know if it's possible or not, but from what I understand it would be fairly unlikely - unless it's the same infection that never left in the first place. There's meant to be a good level of immunity for a period after an infection

Depends on your symptoms but it could still be the initial infection flaring up a bit? I know my recovery wasn't a straight line. After 12 weeks they look at covid that's because it can take a long time to get over initial infection.
