WHO warned governments against issuing 'immunity passports' or 'risk-free certificates' to people who have been infected as their accuracy could not be guaranteed.

GENEVA - The World Health Organization said on Saturday that there was currently"no evidence" that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second coronavirus infection.

The practice could actually increase the risks of continued spread as people who have recovered may ignore advice about taking standard precautions against the virus, it said. "There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection," it said.
