Timeline of events for each patient. As the specific date of illness onset was unclear for several patients the first SARS-CoV-2 PCR positive result was used as time zero (Day 0). The image shows all the testing that was performed for each patient. The specific interval over which reinfection is likely to have occurred (SARS-CoV-2 PCR POS-POS) in each case is highlighted using red boxes.
