Der "Neuen Osnabrücker Zeitung" sagte er, diesen Schluss legten Literaturauswertungen zu Coronaviren am Institut für Virologie der Universität Bonn nahe, das er leitet.
Auch verschiedene Studien deuteten in diese Richtung. Gesichert erscheine eine Immunität "zumindest über die Zeit, die wir das Virus schon kennen". Danach werde man sich wohl wieder mit dem Virus anstecken können. "Allerdings wäre zu erwarten, dass der Verlauf dann milder ist", sagte der Professor. pm, ots

After surviving a Covid 19 infection, the virologist Hendrik Streeck assumes an immunity of up to two years. He told the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung" newspaper that this conclusion was suggested by literature analyses on corona viruses at the Institute of Virology at the University of Bonn, which he heads.
Various studies also pointed in this direction. An immunity "at least for the time we already know the virus" seems to be secured. After that, it will probably be possible to become infected with the virus again. "However, the course of the disease would then be expected to be milder", said the professor. pm, ots, mei
