There is no convincing evidence at the moment that people who have gone through the infection and recovered will become immune and won’t be reinfected.
Of course they get immunity against the previously infected strain but he may be infected by another strain of the same virus.
Yes, they get immunized against the pathogen that caused the infection. Of course, the individual does not get protected to a different strain or even if the pathogen mutates later on. However, there is something called crossprotection which is the immunity provided by one strain protects to a range of close-related pathogens. All these factors depend on the type of pathogen involved.
Yes!
Blood plasma transfusions from people who have recovered from the novel coronavirus infection have a positive effect on COVID-19 patients.
According to what I have read and heard. The claim is that they have immunity. It is important to point out that there are claims of reinfections. As the information continues to evolves I we will probably know.
No !
But, Blood plasma transfusions from people who have recovered from the novel coronavirus infection have a positive effect on COVID-19 patients.
In general, once you have recovered from the viral infection, your body will keep cells called lymphocytes in your system. These cells “remember” viruses they’ve previously seen and can react quickly to fight them off again. If you are exposed to a virus you have already had, your antibodies will likely stop the virus before it starts causing symptoms. You become immune. This is the principle behind many vaccines.
Unfortunately, immunity isn’t perfect. For many viruses, such as mumps, immunity can wane over time, leaving you susceptible to the virus in the future. This is why you need to get revaccinated – those “booster shots” – occasionally: to prompt your immune system to make more antibodies and memory cells.

Since this coronavirus is so new, scientists still don’t know how long people who recover from COVID-19 are immune to future infections of the virus. Doctors are finding antibodies in ill and recovered patients, and that indicates the development of immunity. But the question remains how long that immunity will last. Other coronaviruses like SARS and MERS produce an immune response that will protect a person at least for a short time. I would suspect the same is true of SARS-CoV-2, but the research simply hasn’t been done yet to say so definitively.

Patients develop antibodies against the infecting strain after recovery. But, there is a chance of reinfection with a mutant variant. Pl have a look at the following link: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/questions-remain-covid-19-recovery-guarantee-immunity-reinfection/story?id=70085581
Although some patients who recover from the corona virus may have immunity, some other patients may become carriers or get the virus again. Blood transfusions from recovered COVID-19 patients are having good results, but, as with the current vaccine research, only time will prove precisely how immunity is established.
"Immunity passports" in the context of COVID-19 - World Health Organization
There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from the virus, according to WHO
Much is unknown about the coronavirus, but scientists expect infection to induce some level of immunity.

Yes
Because the blood plasmas transferred from patients who get the virus and recovered to the novels patients of covid19 its positive

Despite having had and recovered from the COVID-19, such people are more likely to be protected against SARS-CoV-2 variants by the COVID-19 vaccines (1), and are encouraged to have just one injection of the vaccine (2)

The acquired protective immunity from SARS-CoV-2 infection is short-lived.

Most probably they will be immunized but for how long that is the question! More research is needed in this direction.
Almost they got immunity against virus but it's not guaranteed for again positive report.
