Zusammenfassung:Summary We reported 20 cases of discharged COVID‐19 patients whose RT‐PCR test results showed ‘re‐positive’. After finding ‘re‐positive’, these patients were admitted to hospital for the second time and were followed up until the end of May 2020. We recorded detailed treatment and follow‐up process, and collected relevant data. The possible causes and potential clinical significance of this phenomenon are discussed.
