The World Health Organization (WHO) issued a clarification regarding a scientific statement it issued on “immunity passports,” or proposals to give documents to people who have antibodies against COVID-19.

Antibodies are detected through tests and indicate people were once infected with COVID-19 but don’t necessarily prove those people are immune from becoming infected again, WHO said.
