Coronavirus antibodies may rapidly fade away after infection, according to a new English study

A member of the medical staff performs a rapid IgG/IgM test for COVID-19 antibody detection on 14 October 14, 2020, in Berlin.The number of people in England with COVID-19 antibodies dropped by more than one-quarter in three months, a new study from Imperial College London found.

Scientists at Imperial College London found that the share of people who tested positive for antibodies to COVID-19— part of the body's defense against re-infection — fell by 26.5% from June to September: from 6.0% of the population to 4.4%., and a lack of antibodies in someone who was previously infected may not necessarily mean they've lost their protection.

Paul Elliott, professor of epidemiology and public health at Imperial College and another of the study's authors, said in a press release emailed to Business Insider: were found to "correctly identify individuals with coronavirus antibodies over 80% of the time while correctly ruling out those who don't in more than 98% of tested individuals."
