Immunity to the coronavirus could only last up to six months, scientists say.<\/p>\n

A study at the University of Amsterdam found that those who survived the coronavirus could become reinfected within six months, casting doubt on the concept of \u201cimmunity passports\u201d to allow survivors of the virus to return to normal life, according to a report in The Science Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For 35 years, University of Amsterdam scientists, led by Lia van der Hoek regularly tested 10 men for four coronaviruses that cause the common cold. While most were reinfected within three years, there were \u201csignificant\u201d drops in antibody levels<\/a> after six months, the study found.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoronavirus protective immunity is short-lasting,\u201d van der Hoek said. \u201cWe saw frequent reinfections at 12 months post-infection and substantial reduction in antibody levels as soon as six months post-infection. Achieving herd immunity may be challenging due to rapid loss of protective immunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
