People who have recovered from covid are feeling 'invincible' as they don't think they will catch it again, according to study.
Despite many cases of coronavirus reinfection being record - including Prince Charles who confirmed he tested positive for a second time - many are not worried about catching the virus again.
The study, commissioned by Medicspot, polled 2,000 adults who had previously suffered from covid.
The research found that 54 per cent felt a new lease of life post recovery, reports Wales Online.
While three in 10 said their attitudes had changed towards the way they feel about certain rules - with 13 per cent happy to attend crowded places, without feeling anxious.
And despite a quarter believing once you’ve had Covid you can no longer get it or any variation of it, 38 per cent ‘aren’t worried’ about testing positive again.
A further 45 per cent also say being vaccinated has contributed to making them feel less vulnerable.
A spokesperson for Medicspot, a government-recognised Covid test provider, said: "It’s important to remember that catching Covid does not mean that you can’t get it again.
“The level of protection from natural immunity may vary from natural immunity depending on how mild or severe the illness was.
“Getting a Covid-19 vaccine after you recover from infection has been shown to provide added protection to your immune system.”
