People infected with Covid-19 can expect immunity for six months – health watchdog


This advice was informed by international evidence and expert opinion, from the Covid-19 Expert Advisory Group.
Dr Máirín Ryan, Hiqa’s Deputy CEO and Director of Health Technology Assessment, said: “We have advised Nphet that presumptive immunity should be extended to six months post-infection. The risk of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 is low and no evidence was found to suggest that immunity wanes over this period.”
The previous guidance in Ireland was that immunity lasts for at least 12 weeks.
Dr Ryan continued: “With regards to guidance, we have recommended that the post-infection exemption for close contacts be extended to six months in line with this evidence.” ....
