06.28. New study warns that immunity to coronavirus may disappear soon
Researchers from King's College London have carried out a study involving 96 patients and healthcare workers who have passed the disease from the Guy and St Thomas NHS Foundation to detect coronavirus antibodies between March and June. The result of his research, published in the journal MIT Technology Review, is that immunity to the coronavirus is very short-lived and may disappear within a few months.

Although 60% of participants produced a "potent" antibody response while they had Covid-19, only 17% had the same level of potency at the end of the three-month trial period. The study raises the possibility that, like other coronaviruses , SARS-CoV-2 may reinfect people. If that's the case, "collective immunity" may never come.
