Abstract
COVID-19 is an acute disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. We determine how the immune system responds to SARS-CoV-2 at both acute and convalescent stages. Acute SARS-CoV-2 infection results in broad immune cell reduction and functional impairment. While neutralizing antibodies are rapidly generated, antigen-specific T cells are delayed at the acute stage.
