Citing your paper: "However, there is currently no data whether humans who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection are protected from re-exposure" (Under discussion, first paragraph)
A more fair summary is that they tested on monkeys and the results looks good, in their words:
"""
We developed a rhesus macaque model of SARS-CoV-2 infection that recapitulates many aspects of human SARS-CoV-2 infection, including high levels of viral replication in the upper and lower respiratory tract (Fig. 1) and clear pathologic evidence of viral pneumonia [...] data suggest the utility of rhesus macaques as a model for SARS-CoV-2 infection for testing vaccines and therapeutics and for studying immunopathogenesis [...] However, neither nonhuman primate model led to respiratory failure or mortality, and thus further research will be required to develop a nonhuman primate model of severe COVID-19 disease.
Given the near-complete protection in all animals following SARS-CoV-2 rechallenge, we were unable to determine immune correlates of protection in this study. [...] Moreover, additional research will be required to define the durability of natural immunity.
