If Covid-19 is similar to other coronaviruses immunity should last about 2-3 years. Here is to hoping.

Unfortunately we have these reports from Korea that people tested positive again after being declared recovered. Still not clear what went wrong there, this news seems to have fallen off the radar.

You need to follow more news then. There have been constant cases where the virus occurred after a patient was declared cured. The current consensus among experts is that it is not a reinfection, but rather a reactivation. That just means out current method of determining a cured covid19 is not accurate enough.
