Studies have reported coinfection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), the cause of coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID‐19), with other viruses that cause respiratory tract infections (RTIs). We investigated the coinfection rate of SARS‐CoV‐2 and other RTI‐causing viruses, and whether the cycle threshold (Ct) value of a real‐time reverse transcriptase PCR (RT‐PCR) differed when the coinfection occurred during the first wave of COVID‐19 in Daegu, Republic of Korea, in 2020.
