Prime Minister Boris Johnson returned to work today following a three-week absence after being diagnosed with coronavirus.
However, the World Health Organization warned governments not to rely on immunity passports, as there was"no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection." To ensure that before any decision is made, he says, the government needs to make sure the population properly understands how to protect themselves and others.
He said that it would be"implausible and irresponsible to suddenly lift the lockdown" but that the government also had to look at how the development of young children had been affected by the lockdown and who would need government support. The easing of the lockdown might also be done regionally first, though how this is managed and enforced is a difficult job to get right.
