A sero-prevalence survey has found that 79 of the 257 people who recovered from COVID-19 did not have antibodies against the virus. But in most cases, the memory cells would remember the virus and trigger an immune response if a person who has recovered from COVID-19 is again attacked by the virus.
These antibodies can last for several months -- say 5-8 months -- but the body also produces T-cells in response to the infection.
