Video / NZ HeraldBy Rowan Quinn of RNZAbout 14,000 New Zealanders are known to have been infected with Covid-19 twice and Ministry of Health figures show 183 people have had the virus three times. The ministry said about two-thirds of the reinfections happened between one and three months after a first infection. The figures related only to those actually reporting their positive tests so there would likely have been more. "But Omicron can even evade itself so after about six months you have got a reasonable chance of catching the same strain," he said. Health experts have said getting reinfected increased the chances of experiencing complications like Long Covid.
