Question: Does getting COVID-19 make you immune to it?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Symptoms & Testing
If I have recovered from COVID-19, will I be immune to it?
section_content: CDC and partners are investigating to determine if you can get sick with
COVID-19 more than once. At this time, we are not sure if you can become re-
infected. Until we know more, continue to take steps to protect yourself and
others.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer addresses the lack of knowledge regarding the full extend of immunity that is achieved once one gets sick with COVID-19.
The answer is straightforward, and acknowledges the fact that they do not know whether or not the virus can cause immunity.

section_content: Check with your healthcare provider to see if they offer antibody tests.
If you test positive

A positive test result shows you have antibodies that likely resulted from an infection with SARS-CoV-2, or possibly a related coronavirus.
It’s unclear if those antibodies can provide protection (immunity) against getting infected again. This means that we do not know at this time if antibodies make you immune to the virus.
If you have no symptoms, you likely do not have an active infection and no additional follow-up is needed.
If you have symptoms and meet other guidelines for testing, you would need another type of test called a nucleic acid test, or viral test. This test uses respiratory samples, such as a swab from inside your nose, to confirm COVID-19. An antibody test cannot tell if you are currently sick with COVID-19.
It’s possible you might test positive for antibodies and you might not have or have ever had symptoms of COVID-19. This is known as having an asymptomatic infection, or an infection without symptoms.

If you test negative

If you test negative for COVID-19 antibodies, you probably did not have a previous infection that has gotten better. However, you could have a current infection. It’s possible you could still get sick if you have been exposed to the virus recently, since antibodies don’t show up for 1 to 3 weeks after infection. This means you could still spread the virus.
Some people may take even longer to develop antibodies, and some people may not develop antibodies.
If you have symptoms and meet other guidelines for testing, you would need another type of test called a nucleic acid test, or viral test. This test uses respiratory samples, such as a swab from inside your nose, to confirm COVID-19. An antibody test cannot tell if you are currently sick with COVID-19.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Mentions antibody testing which might be important for someone who has COVID-19 to be tested for but there is no mention of immunity to COVID-19 itself being granted from being sick.
The answer does not refer to immunity directly, and only talks about testing for the virus. Therefore, the answer is bad due to a lack of specific information.

page_title: Clinical Questions about COVID-19: Questions and Answers
section_headers: Transmission
Can people who recover from COVID-19 be re-infected with SARS-CoV-2?
section_content: The immune response, including duration of immunity, to SARS-CoV-2 infection
is not yet understood. Patients with MERS-CoV are unlikely to be re-infected
shortly after they recover, but it is not yet known whether similar immune
protection will be observed for patients with COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer is honest regarding the unknowability of the permanence or impermanence of any immunity gathered against COVID-19.
The answer is straightforward, and provides information about COVID immunity. Even though they don't know enough information yet about they virus, they make note of that in reference to the question.
