More than 12,000 health care workers at Oxford University Hospitals joined a study as part of a collaboration between the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. People who are infected wiht the new coronavirus are “highly unlikely” to get sick again for at least six months, according to a new Oxford study. The study, published Friday, claims to be the first large-scale research into how much protection people get against reinfection after contracting the coronavirus. It was part of a major collaboration between the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust but has not yet been peer reviewed. The study covered a 30-week period between April and November with 12,180 health-care workers employed at Oxford University Hospitals.
