Chances of getting reinfection after COVID-19 are real because the immunity is not protective or is short lived.

To find this, please read the latest article in the link:

Preprint Reinfection could not occur in SARS-CoV-2 infected rhesus macaques

Harasit Kumar Paul

As it is assumed that immunity against COVID-19 is short-lived, there is every chance of reinfection.

Ronald Valledor Gomeseria

From the news itself, still, there are chances for a person of getting reinfected by COVID-19 Virus as long as every citizen has no discipline following the protocol and as long as there's no vaccine yet, remember, second wave is more dangerous.

Re-infection < 1%. (new study; Jan. 2021)

"Of the participants in the study who had already fallen ill (around 6,600), only 44 (less than 1%) were re-infected with the virus. In other words, immune response from a first infection reduced the risk of contracting the virus again by 83%. Moreover, those who were re-infected did not usually suffer from serious illness. The study was conducted in England. (Nature [1])
