How long a person can remain immune to COVID-19 after contracting the virus and recovering from it has been the subject of research.
Individuals who contracted COVID-19 but remained symptom-free after the initial quarantine period has passed are immune for up to three months, according to information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
In guidance that was updated in August, the CDC gave a concrete time period for how long immunity against the coronavirus is expected to last."People who have tested positive for COVID-19 do not need to quarantine or get tested again for up to 3 months as long as they do not develop symptoms again," read the CDC website.
During a Friday Instagram stream, infectious diseases expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said if the U.S. were to attempt to achieve herd immunity, many people would not survive."If everyone contracted it, even with the relatively high percentage of people without symptoms," Fauci said,"a lot of people are going to die."
