Antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus remained in the blood of Covid-19 survivors for at least eight months after they were infected, Italian researchers said on May 11 (2021).

They were present “regardless of the severity of the illness, the age of the patients or the presence of other pathologies”, according to a statement from the San Raffaele hospital in Milan.
