“Starting next week we are going to carry out a massive rapid test campaign, in such a way to give tranquility to a very important percentage of our compatriots who can restart with more tranquility a more normal life and to be able to focus our efforts on caring for those who do not have that security, “Piñera said.

Asked if these “immunity cards” (as Oppenheimer called them and that the President did not correct), They can be a health hazard when talking about immunity when there are reports of people who have re-infected, the President pointed to a “very high probability” and not to an “absolute guarantee”.
“ANDThis test does not give an absolute guarantee of immunity. However, and this we have discussed with scientists around the world, some tests -because here it is not any test, the Ministry of Health accredited the tests that are reliable-, Those tests that are accredited by the Ministry of Health say with a very high probability, not absolute certainty, that a person who has antibodies, immunoglobulin G IgG, most likely that he had the disease, which overcame it, which already has a very low probability of being infected and which has a very low probability of infecting others, “said Piñera.
