A new study has found that antibodies against coronavirus in patients who recover from the infection last only a few months before they disappear
In the first of its kind study, a team of researchers from King's College London evaluated more than 90 confirmed coronavirus patients and how their immunity changed over time after recovery
Of the total number of patients, 60 percent showed a strong immune respose after a few weeks of contracting the infection
The blood tests showed that even patients with only mild symptoms mounted an immune response to the virus
However, after three months, only 16.7 percent of those who developed immune response still maintained high levels of the coronavirus-neutralizing antibodies
After 90 days, many more patients had no detectable antibodies against the virus in their bloodstream
