I feel individuals have stated earlier than that it could be very shocking if there was no immunity after an infection, however in the intervening time the science continues to be not exact.

“A normal rule could be that you’d by no means decide primarily based on a single research, so we might very a lot wish to see that end result replicated in different research earlier than we determined that was actually the case,” he stated.

“It’s clearly promising. I feel individuals have stated earlier than in these briefings that it could be very shocking if there was no immunity after an infection, however in the intervening time the science continues to be not exact about how a lot immunity you get and the way lengthy it lasts.

Actuality Examine: Ought to all of us put on face masks?

At present, the World Well being Organisation recommends that, exterior of healthcare professionals, individuals ought to only wear masks if they display symptoms of COVID-19 or are taking good care of somebody who does.
