Anthony Fauci Says Government Is Discussing Immunity Cards For Coronavirus Survivers

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, attends the daily coronavirus task force briefing in the Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House on April 08, 2020 in Washington, DC. President Trump vowed to hold back funding for the World Health Organization at the briefing, accusing the organization of having not been aggressive enough in confronting the virus, but later walked those comments back saying he had been misquoted, according to published reports.

Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN that the government is considering multiple different options for when it comes time to ease social isolation guidelines, and one of those ideas is having people carry identification cards to indicate whether or not they have immunity to the COVID-19 virus.

As Politico reports, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases says that the government wants to be able to identify those who have been infected as the economy re-opens in order to prevent a renewed surge of the novel coronavirus.

When asked by CNN if immunity cards were under consideration, Fauci confirmed that they were.

“You know, that’s possible,” he said. “I mean, it’s one of those things that we talk about when we want to make sure that we know who the vulnerable people are and not. This is something that’s being discussed. I think it might actually have some merit, under certain circumstances.”
