Immunity against Covid-19 may persist for at least five months after being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, according to a study led by an Indian-origin researcher in the US. The researchers from the University of Arizona Health Sciences studied the production of antibodies from a sample of nearly 6,000 people infected with the novel coronavirus.

The question of how long immunity lasts against COVID-19 is one step closer to being answered, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Arizona Health Sciences. Deepta Bhattacharya, associate professor and immunologist at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson is interviewed.

A new study published yesterday by scientists at the University of Arizona Health Sciences shows antibodies to the coronavirus disease last for at least five months after infection.

University of Arizona Heath Sciences researchers developed one of the most accurate COVID-19 antibody tests available and now have shown antibodies persist for months after infection, providing long-term immunity.

Using a highly accurate test they developed, University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers have shown that antibodies persist for months after infection.

Health Sciences researcher Dr. Jun Wang says the world can be better prepared for the next viral outbreak by supporting infectious disease research now.

As President Trump recovers from COVID-19 and travels around the country for campaign events he has said that he is now possibly immune. Dr. Shad Marvasti at the University of Arizona College of Medicine talks about what we know and what we have learned about the coronavirus and immunity.
