"No evidence" that recovered COVID-19 patients cannot be reinfected: WHO
The World Health Organization warned governments Saturday against issuing 'immunity passports.'
Also known as 'risk-free certificates,' they're meant to assure others the bearer has recovered from COVID-19.
The WHO said that there was currently “no evidence” that recovered patients have antibodies and are protected from a second coronavirus infection.
According to Reuters, the WHO says the practice could actually increase the risks of continued spread of the novel coronavirus.
