\nResults from two new South Korean studies shed light on whether antibodies will be a reliable form of protection against COVID-19<\/a> for those who have recovered from the disease.<\/p>\n

\nIn one ongoing study, the Korean Center for Disease Control found that 100% of 25 randomly selected patients who were hospitalized with symptoms and who fully recovered, developed defensive antibodies against COVID-19.\n<\/p>\n

\nResearchers were initially concerned that antibodies might not kill the virus, because roughly half of patients had both antibodies and a current COVID-19<\/a> infection.<\/p>\n

\nFurther investigation, however, suggested that the virus scientists detected might have been dead or so weak that it couldn’t infect others.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn a second study of more than 10,700 COVID-19 patients, researchers examined 207 individuals who were re-diagnosed with COVID-19 after recovering from their infections.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn 39 of those 207 re-diagnosed individuals, researchers did not find any virus replication in patient samples they analyzed.<\/p>\n

\nIn other words, the new research suggests that if a patient is re-diagnosed with COVID-19 after recovering, it’s unlikely he or she will be able to infect others.\n<\/p>\n

\nStill, the KCDC cautioned, it’s unclear how long those antibodies last. Until we have that key piece of data, the jury is still out on whether mass immunity is possible.\n<\/p>\n
