THREE university students have been diagnosed with Covid-19 for a second time, within six months of their initial infection. The three NUI Galway students were infected in February and were part of the major Covid outbreak that kicked off in the city early last month. The three reinfected students were among 190 confirmed cases dealt with by the NUI Galway medical service since the outbreak started. Dr MacDonncha said other infected students may have been treated elsewhere. He said the more recent outbreak was quite different, and referenced the high levels of transmissibility associated with the new variant.
