“There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from Covid-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection,” the UN agency said in an April 24 statement.

This has raised concerns because the tests have proven unreliable elsewhere, and some people may get deliberately ill in order to obtain the card. The US and others have nonetheless said they’re looking into the option.
