After the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the end of which epidemiologists predict by early September, countries will begin to open borders. However, due to fears of the import of the virus by asymptomatic carriers, which could trigger a second outbreak, many governments have thought about introducing so-called “immune passports,” 9tv reports.

It is assumed that such biological identification cards will indicate that the person is not a carrier of coronavirus, and that there are antibodies in his blood.

China is already moving in this direction, as Beijing hotels already require a certificate of a negative coronavirus test.

European countries, in particular Germany and the UK, are launching programs to test people for the presence of antibodies, and so far they will issue “immune passports” so that COVID-19 patients can return to normal life.

" If not, the travel ban can be replaced with mandatory periods of self-isolation upon arrival, "

However, some experts note that most likely biological certificates for tourists can be introduced no earlier than a couple of years. And probably it will be an expensive pleasure.
