Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with protection against symptomatic reinfection - 02/04/21

Highlights |
• | Whether SARS-CoV-2 infection confers immunity to reinfection is uncertain. |
• | The ‘second wave’ of transmission offered an opportunity to examine this. |
• | We observed no symptomatic reinfections in a cohort of healthcare workers. |
• | This apparent immunity to re-infection was maintained for at least 6 months. |
• | Further studies are required to define immunological mechanism(s) and durability. |
