From tomorrow - November 11, we will be able to issue a green certificate for people with proven antibodies to coronavirus. What are the criteria for the document - the topic in "The day begins" commented Prof. Radka Argirova, immunologist.

She explained that there are three main groups of people who will be subject to a green certificate based on antibodies.

Despite high levels of vaccination in many European countries and the stimulation of the tourism industry during the summer months, tourism activity is not expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by 2024.

Germany is currently "under the tyranny of the unvaccinated, who determine things for those two-thirds of the population who have already been vaccinated," World Medical Union President Frank Ulrich Montgomery was quoted as saying by Deutsche Welle.

Antibody tests can be falsified much more easily than other tests. This was stated by Prof. Georgi Momekov from the Department of Pharmacology, Pharmacotherapy and Toxicology at MU - Sofia in the studio of "Hello, Bulgaria".

"People with antibodies who have suffered but are not listed in the Unified Information System can be tested in certified antibody laboratories and, if they have them, also receive a green certificate, this is my opinion," told BNR Professor Margarita Apostolova from BAS - Institute of Molecular Biology.

It is possible to reach a total lockdown. Everything stops when hospitals cannot provide us with the care we need. The interval between 6000 and 8000 hospital beds occupied for non-intensive patients is acceptable. Our system probably can't accept more than this limit because there aren't that many staff.

Antibodies formed after coronavirus disease fade rapidly. The tests are not reliable enough to know if their number is protective - ie. enough to protect us from a new infection. So there is no point in doing antibody tests.

In The Day Begins, Bulgarian virologist Prof. Radka Argirova commented that there is a difference in the antibodies that our immune system builds up after natural infection and after immunization.

Vaccination produces a specific type of neutralizing antibody in the body that is effective in dealing with the coronavirus.

More than one million European green certificates have been downloaded through the National Health Information System (NHIS), Information Services AD announced.
