In an outbreak with 85 percent attack rate, the neutralizing antibodies 44 from previous SARS-CoV-2 infection were significantly associated with protection against 45 re-infection (also observed in animal models like rhesus macaques) [3] . IgG against the 46 receptor-binding domain of spike protein have high specificity and sensitivity and sustain in patients up to 75 days [3] . Another study deciphered that neutralizing antibodies decline lasting protection against Covid-19. Dental Tribune 2020. Humans develop robust immune response & memory that may provide Clinical 145 and immunological assessment of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections Lessons for COVID-19 immunity from other coronavirus 148 infections Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Re-153 infection by a phylogenetically distinct severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 154 2 strain confirmed by whole genome sequencing
