Until a vaccination for coronavirus is developed one way to get Britain back to work could be "immunity passports" – but they could be faked, it has been warned.
People who have already recovered from Covid-19 may be given a document they can show to their employers, enabling them to return to work.
But today SAGE – The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, a team of experts who provide scientific and technical advice to the Government – has warned over people being able to fake their test results in order to be allowed to start working again.
In some cases, it warns, people could even deliberately infect themselves in a bid to acquire immunity, the Guardian reports.
