A member asked:

If you are infected with coronavirus again, would the second infection be more serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Although it may not impart permanent immunity, if it behaves like many viruses, a second infection will probably be less severe unless the first infection has created some permanent damage to the lungs.
