Abstract
Over 10 percent of recovered and discharged patients retested positive for SARS-CoV-2, raising a public health concern whether they could be potential origins of infection. In this study, we found that detectable viral genome in discharged patients might only mean the presence of viral fragments, and could hardly form an infection origin for its extremely low concentration.
