Seems to be catching on in a few countries already
“ Estonia is building an "immunity passport" system, and Chile is also planning what it calls a "release certificate", following such principles.
Tavvet Hinrikus, co-founder of the money exchange firm TransferWise, helped in the development of Estonia's phone app-based system.
"There are areas where I think it's a no-brainer we should use this, like… who takes care of our elders; can I go and see my parents?
"If immunity as a concept exists, then I think people who have immunity should be cleared to work with elders, or the same for frontline workers,"
Not just counties Other apps are being developed to display antibody - and potentially immunity - status. One example is Onfido. Its co-founder, Husayn Kasai, says some US hotel chains are now accepting immunity passports via an app.
"It's predominately for guests who want to access some of the services, be it the spa or the gym, where social distancing isn't an option."
Great to see strong competition as shoes there is obviously a market to commercialise.
