Yes, cross-immunity is highly likely. Having immunity to a similar coronavirus doesn't mean that you won't get sick but you're more likely to have a milder case. Also, once you have already recovered, having repeated exposure will likely boost immunity.

Do you think that antibodies from other coronaviruses could potentially provide some immunity from the COVID-19 virus?
