Document: The immunity passport is an idiom describing an approach to the relaxation of the current social distancing measures that focuses heavily on antibody testing. Wide-scale screening for antibodies in the general population promises significant scientific value, and targeted antibody testing is likely to have value for reducing risks to NHS and care-sector staff, and other key workers who will need to have close contact with Covid-19 sufferers.
