How some people are still NOVIDS: ‘Never have I ever had COVID’ | The Times of India

It has been two and a half years since the COVID-19 pandemic began and the majority of people have tested positive with the virus. Many people have lost their lives due to the deadly infection, and many have jumped back after a very serious disease.

Some people have also been infected even twice or thrice, despite getting fully vaccinated. After all this, there still remains a large number of people who have never contracted the Coronavirus. Researchers call them “Novids”. What’s surprising is that some of them have also lived or worked in high-exposure environments.

So do these people have a way stronger immune system or are Novids just by luck?

Researchers are trying to find out, with the hope to identify protective factors that could prevent other people also from getting sick.
