Brief Answer:
Body will kill Corona virus.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
In healthy individuals the immune system of our body acts against the Corona virus and subsequently kills it. It is complex mechanism involving antibodies and white blood cells(lymphocytes).
There is nothing like dormant infection or suppression of the Corona infection and it is completely eliminated from the body.
In elderly people or patients with weak immune system, body cannot tackle infection and leads to complications.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
