According to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/, as of March 23, 2020 (3:00 PM, at GMT+3) About 87% of Corona cases have been reported to completely recover from the disease and got discharged from Health care centers. Does anyone have any information on re-infection ability of the virus. Are the survivors still at risk of reinfection are are they good forever?
