There is no evidence to suggest that recovered coronavirus patients and former asymptomatic carriers who have coronavirus antibodies in their blood will have long-term COVID-19 immunity, the World Health Organization said in a press conference
Health Emergencies Programme Director Michael Ryan, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and WHO Technical Lead Maria Van Kerkhove attending a WHO virtual news briefing on the COVID-19 from the WHO headquarters, on April 17, 2020 in Geneva. - Lady Gaga will launch a giant online coronavirus awareness concert on April 18 entitled"One World: Together at Home", featuring music icons like Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder.
“Nobody is sure,” executive director of emergencies programs Dr. Michael J. Ryan said of the likelihood that someone with antibodies could be reinfected.While someone who “generates a full-blown immune response” detectable by serological tests could likely expect immunity for some time, “we just don’t know what that period of time is,” Ryan said.
He also emphasized that, at present, it is likely “quite a low proportion of people” have these antibodies, suggesting that widespread immunity is still a distant goal.
