BBC World Service - Newshour, WHO warns against Coronavirus 'immunity passports'

The World Health Organisation says 'immunity passports' are no way to ease lockdowns

The World Health Organisation says 'immunity passports' are no way to ease lockdowns.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says governments should not issue so-called ‘immunity passports’ or ‘risk-free certificates’ as a way of easing lockdowns.

Also in the programme: An orphanage in Belarus seeks help amid a 'critical' coronavirus outbreak, and we hear from a Syrian refugee, now working as a hospital cleaner in London, on the power of the pandemic to change attitudes.
