People who recovered from COVID-19 have an extremely low risk of reinfection in the next 6 months. Infection is possible, but very unlikely, as the study showed.

Scientists still have not come to a consensus about how long the natural immune defense lasts against the coronavirus of a person who has already suffered from this disease.. What is the likelihood that in a week or a month he will get infected again? If it is high, then, unfortunately, there is no reason to hope for the formation of collective immunity simply due to the fact that the majority of the country's population passed through the pandemic.. It is this kind of immunity that was developed after two deadly influenza pandemics in recent history - "

However, scientists from the University of Oxford, in the course of monitoring the health of more than 12 thousand doctors who have treated patients with coronavirus, have come to an encouraging conclusion.. After a person recovers from COVID-19, the chances of re-infection in the next 6 months are extremely low.. The authors of the study emphasize that such a probability exists, but it is minimal and clearly insufficient to talk about a new wave among those who have already been ill, writes voanews. com.

Researchers stress that this is good news. You can be confident that, at least in the short term, most COVID-19 recovered will not get sick again.. Rare cases of re-infection are noted in different countries of the world, including Russia. So twice in a short time the head of the Republic of Tuva Sholban Kara-ool was ill with a coronavirus.
