A small study published Wednesday in the journaloffers promising evidence to suggest that recovery from COVID-19 could lead to immunity against reinfection.
The study, from researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, involved nine rhesus macaques — monkeys that share a majority of their genes with humans. The macaques were infected with the coronavirus and later recovered — and more than one month later, they were re-exposed to the virus.
All of the macaques had developed antibodies against the virus, the researchers found, and had"near-complete protection" against the virus when they were re-exposed — a sign that they had developed immunity. Still, more research is needed to determine whether the findings also apply to humans, as well as to determine how long this immunity may last.60-year-old Gertrud Schop lights candles arranged in the shape of a cross, with one candle dedicated to each of the more than 8,000 German Covid-19-related victims, in Zella-Mehlis, eastern Germany on Tuesday.
