“It is highly unlikely that those who tested positive again [in RT-PCR tests] might have been infected again”

It looks like these reports of "reinfection" were from PCR tests, which we know can stay positive for days/weeks (in some) after #COVID19 infection.
So likely not reinfection.
Still unanswered: To what extent of those who recover from infection are immune, and for how long?
