indiaUpdated: Aug 19, 2020 03:40 ISTDoes getting Covid-19 once give the patient immunity to the disease? Is the immunity robust enough to fend off the pathogen even in a highly contagious space? “Our data indicates sustained humoral immunity in recovered patients who suffer from symptomatic Covid-19, suggesting prolonged immunity... titers (antibody levels) stabilised at relatively high levels over the six months observation period,” said the researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan. This, they added, indicated “a previously unanticipated degree of population-level immunity against Covid-19”. Researchers involved in the above studies said this success of the immune system is crucial for vaccines to work.
