So far most data I've seen shows that people who were infected have some immunity. However, it's not clear yet what the annual effect of immunity will be - for example, we haven't sampled enough people/viruses to know in detail whether that immunity persists when the virus mutates.

Epidemiologists are likely to know the answers to these sorts of questions in a few years.



Every single other known Coronavirus builds immunity.

Hundreds of thousands of patients and no reports of repeat healthy patients.

Preliminary studies with macaque monkeys show that an immunity is built.

There's plenty of data to show that an infection is built.
