On the other hand, Japan said they found a clear case of reinfection: https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/484942-japan-confirms-first-case-of-person-reinfected https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-c... You can debate whether or not it's really a reinfection or not, but no one is going to really know for sure until quite some time and further studies can be done. So for now, I wouldn't count on immunity after catching the disease.

Japan may not be the best source for anything right now, their response is a bit in panic. I'd personally watch any publication from Singapore in this regard - one of their primary learnings from SARS was to become a biotech hub which enabled them to rapidly scale testing in this case and you can assume they have very good surveillance of existing cases.

  The Singapore ministry of health site on the topic is really the model of what governments should do in these situations. https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19 https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19 They share details on all cases, along with the result of the investigation around whom they have been in contact with and where they have been. They also created a dashboard with all information: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/7e30edc490a5441a874f9efe67bd8b89 https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/7e30edc490a5441a874...
