There is no proof that having had the COVID-19 virus actually makes you immune to getting it again as a full-blown (or even asymptomatic) illness. There have been some people in other countries who have gotten it a second time. They are just as contagious the 2nd time around and can spread it to others, especially if they don't take precautions and re-quarantine.
