Researchers Deliver News to the Whole World After Latest Study on COVID-19A study that has been performed by researchers from China, has found that humans can be protected from being reinfected by novel Covid-19. According to the reports by Daily Nation, the study that was performed basing on monkeys found that they can be protected from the virus for over 28 days later without being infected again.
However, while the monkeys displayed the ability of being not reinfected for 28 days, it is still unclear whether in humans would be more or less. But the team has said that the world should have to wait to up even months and years to see whether how long people who have been infected can be protected from re-infection.
Researchers from Peking Union Medical College carried out a study on rhesus macaques to find out if they have a short-term immunity to the disease. They infected 6 of them with a dose of SARS-CoV-2 virus and they seemed to develop mild symptoms after 3 days after which they took approximately 2 weeks to recover. After 28-days period from the time of infection, they re-infected 4 of the rhesus macaques with another dose of the virus.
After some few days, they showed a short increase in body temperature but were never re-infected by the virus. According to the researchers, the viral load took around 3 days before reaching its peak after infection.
Later, the monkeys showed a strong immune response after infection which in return produces neutralizing antibodies that prevents them from becoming reinfected. However, the researchers have claimed that they need to experiment more to see how long the immunity takes before reducing.
