Most people who get the coronavirus recover. More than 727,000 such cases have been documented worldwide.
"Eventually, if all goes well, your immune system will completely destroy all of the virus in your system," Tom Duszynski, director of epidemiology education at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, wrote in The Conversation. "A person who was infected with and survived a virus with no long-term health effects or disabilities has 'recovered.'"
Still, many uncertainties remain: It's not yet clear how many people have recovered, how the illness will affect them in the long run, or how long they'll be immune.
Here's everything we know about the people who have recovered from COVID-19.
