Introduction: The literature on the clinical course of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) suggests patients continue shedding viral particles typically for an average of 20 days until the body builds immunity against the infection However, a few cases have shown prolonged duration in viral shedding and highlight the significant increased mortality in these patients It has also been suggested that multiple strains of SARS-COV-2 exist, keying the possibility to reinfection Case Report: We present a case of a 57-year-old male who presented twice over 37 days with symptoms related to SARS-COV-2, and only on his second visit was found to be in hypoxemic respiratory failure and cardiogenic shock He also reportedly had a period of convalescence in between presentations Discussion: This case highlights the still unclear disease course of SARS-COV-2 and the need for diligence in providing strong follow-up instructions and evaluation for sequelae of the infection
