Turkish Man Tests Positive For Covid Nearly 80 Times

A Turkish man has tested positive for Covid at least 78 times over the past 14 months, leaving him the unwanted record of having the country’s longest continuous coronavirus infection. Doctors believe Muzaffer Kayasan’s condition is because of his body’s weakened immune system as the 56-year-old has leukaemia.

Despite being in and out of hospitals since November 2020, Mr Kayasan’s spirits are high, with his son Gokhan Kayasan joking that his father is optimistic. “We kept saying how positive he is and now the guy turned positive [for Covid] and can’t go back to negative,” he said.
