The death toll of the Covid-19 pandemic globally has risen to 200,000 as the World Health Organization warns against the use of immunity passports. The immunity passport has been objected by the WHO because there is no evidence that recovery from Covid-19 means that reinfection can’t occur. World wide reported cases of coronavirus have almost exceeded 3 million. The warning is coming as some countries such as Chile decided that their government was giving health passports to recovered COVID-19 patients to go back to work after the lockdown. In a statement made by the world health organization “there is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection”, the organization also said that people who believe they are immune to a second infection may ignore public health advice.
In Italy the number of fatalities is 26,384, in the United States, the number is 936,293, France, 22,614 and the United Kingdom 20,319. There is fear that people who have tested positive before and have recovered might not want to wear face masks and might not heed to instructions because they believe they are not at danger of the disease anymore. On Tuesday in Spain, the government will reveal it coronavirus broader exit plan that will likely be put in practice by May. “The spread of COVID-19 has been slowed down, but the virus has not disappeared”, Belgium’s prime minister warned. In France, residents have confined to praising health workers and protesting their frustration with officials.
