Each of us wonders when and how we will return to normal routines, the way we were functioning before the coronavirus.
The greatest infringements on freedom came in the form of restrictions on movement and travel and became a major taboo.
Many of us had planned a family holiday in the summer months in one of the seaside countries. However, the situation became complicated and it is therefore uncertain whether our holidays will take place and whether travel will be the same as before. The fundamental restrictions on travel around the world raise unanswered questions.
Some countries, however, are already considering introducing so-called “immunity cards”, which would serve as a ticket to enter a given country or as a pass out of quarantine. Business Insider reports this.
Business Insider reports on a German “certificate of immunity” with which people could travel before this pandemic is over. How would it work in practice?
The basis is the carrying out of rapid tests that would show positive results for antibodies. With these results, people could leave quarantine earlier than others.
The results actually prove the development of immunity to the given virus.
Through mass positive tests, countries could relax the strict measures they have gradually implemented. With similar tests, it would be possible to travel around the world earlier than many governments expect.
Tests could be available on the shelves of most pharmacies and also on Amazon. The United Kingdom wants to start with the tests. Boris Johnson has already ordered several million. Similar tests have been on the market several times before, but they had to be returned to China due to inaccurate testing capabilities.
In addition to the United Kingdom, the US also wants to start with the tests, where the federal government is preparing mass distribution of certificates to recovered people. The leading American infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, says that a recovered person can become reinfected.
Despite this, the federal government is preparing to distribute large numbers of antibody tests, which are currently being vetted by the Food and Drug Administration.
Despite several limitations and experts’ doubts, the results of the mentioned tests may, in a few weeks, serve as a pass into other countries.
