A leading Dublin immunologist has said that there are four main reasons why some people are immune to Covid-19, with a new study underway to assess why some people are resistant to the virus.
Speaking on Claire Byrne today, Dr Cliona O'Farrelly who is also a professor of comparative immunology and biochemistry at immunology at Trinity College, said that some people have managed to escape contracting Covid-19 during due to socio-economic backgrounds, generally good health, careful behaviour and a rare innate immune response.
Dr O'Farrelly said: "How people live has got a lot to do with their circumstances and then on top of that then is this percentage of people who have what we would call an innate immune signature, that's what we're looking for.
