Can You Get Covid a Second Time?

Common question

Can I get COVID-19 a second time?

As of yet, we are unsure of the nature of human immunity to Coronavirus.

Is it possible to be reinfected with COVID-19?

Although persons with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are largely protected, subsequent infection is possible for some persons due to lack of sterilizing immunity. Some re-infected individuals could have a similar capacity to transmit virus as those infected for the first time.
