While the world is grappling with the Coronavirus pandemic, the World Health Organisation (WHO) issued a scientific brief suggesting the countries to not issue an “immunity passport” or “risk-free certificate” to the patients who have recovered from the COVID-19 disease. In the brief issued on April 24, the WHO has particularly specified that there is no evidence that "people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection." This development has come to light after countries such as Chile and Germany were exploring the prospects of issuing immunity passports to citizens who have recovered from the disease, thereby exempting them from lockdown-quarantine measures and allowing them to travel. According to a March 2020 report in The Guardian, researchers in Germany conducted a mass study into the number of people who are immune to the COVID-19 disease in order to get the key workers who have recovered from the virus back into th...
