The World Health Organization warned Saturday that there was “no evidence” that recovered COVID-19 patients with antibodies were immune to a second coronavirus infection.

The WHO issued the warning in a scientific brief as it confirmed cases of coronavirus worldwide topped 2.8 million.  Worldwide fatalities have now exceeded 200,000, according to Johns Hopkins University statistics.  Johns Hopkins said late Saturday the global death tally was 202,831.

"Some governments have suggested that the detection of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, could serve as the basis for an 'immunity passport' or 'risk-free certificate' that would enable individuals to travel or to return to work assuming that they are protected against reinfection," the WHO said.

"There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection," it added.

Chile said last week that it would start distributing “health passports” to people who were considered recovered patients, allowing them to return to their jobs. Before receiving passports, they were to be screened to determine whether they had developed antibodies.
