Its not clear whether people who have recovered from COVID-19 are immune to the coronavirus that causes it, but a new research project at the University of Alberta will examine whether the antibodies their immune system produced to fight off the disease provides them with long-term immunity.
There is some evidence from the literature that immunity is probably happening and we know now that this is probably reducing viral loads in individuals who are infected, said Steven Drews, a microbiologist in the U of As Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology.
