During the daily press conference of the National Health Authority on the coronavirus, Karin Tegmark Wisell, head of the microbiology department, announced that an infection in covid-19 provides immune protection. A group of experts concluded after reviewing the general state of knowledge.
– A proven immune response is considered to provide full or partial protection against clinical disease in case of reinfection.
“Protection gradually decreases”
But many questions remain, according to Karin Tegmark Wisell. Among other things, how long is it protected and how extensive is the protection.
– It is obvious that protection gradually decreases during the first year and that there are many individual differences. Currently, it is not possible to draw conclusions at the individual level, but in large groups we can understand that there is a protection that will help us reduce the spread of the infection, ”she says.
“That is in line with our forecasts.”
