		</div><p>The World Health Organisation has warned against the idea of “immunity passports” amid the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>It said there is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from Covid-19 and have antibodies are protected against a second infection.</p>
<p>The concept of <em>“immunity passports”</em> or <em>“risk-free certificates”</em> has been floated as a way of allowing people protected against reinfection to return to work.</p>
<p>But the Geneva-based UN health agency said in a scientific brief published on Saturday that more research is needed.</p>
<p>It said that <em>“at this point in the pandemic, there is not enough evidence about the effectiveness of antibody-mediated immunity to guarantee the accuracy of an ‘immunity passport’ or ‘risk-free certificate’.”</em></p>
<p>It argued that people who assume they are immune to reinfection may ignore public health advice, and that such certificates could raise the risks of continued virus transmission.</p>
<p>The WHO added that tests for antibodies of the new coronavirus also <em>“need further validation to determine their accuracy and reliability”</em>.</p>
