While the majority of people who have had COVID-19 are protected from reinfection for at least six months, older people – already more susceptible to the virus – are far more prone to contract it again, according to a study published Wednesday.
The Danish study, pubished in the Lancet medical journal, found that only 0.65% of people tested positive again after previously contracting the virus. However, it also found that people 65 and older had just 47% protection against repeat infection, compared to an 80% protection rate for younger people.
