Antibodies to COVID-19 is not considered

the Presence in the blood of antibodies to the coronavirus COVID-19 is not “an indulgence for failure to comply with quarantine measures.” This was stated at a press conference in Moscow, Minister of Moscow government, head of the city Department of health Alexei Khripun.

on may 15 in Moscow were examined for antibodies to COVID-19 more than 50 thousand people, he said. Muscovites are invited individually and selectively to the clinic to donate blood for analysis. Thus the city authorities intend to determine the degree of formation of immunity to the new coronavirus infection.

People with identified antibodies to the new coronavirus can not be considered completely safe for the environment and must comply with the measures of social distancing, emphasizes Alexei Khripun. The probability of a security of such a person to others, according to the head of the Metropolitan Destava, “very high but not absolute”.

People who recover from coronavirus, for some time must be careful, said Khripun. To understand and define the days and weeks, how much should be the period to date is quite difficult.

Scientific data do not allow us to determine the period after which the person becomes completely safe for the environment, said the Director of the SIC of epidemiology and Microbiology named after N. F. Gamalei, Ministry of health of the Russian Federation, academician of the RAS Alexander Ginzburg. The presence of immunoglobulin M (IgM), on the basis of the test for the coronavirus shows that the infected is at an early stage of interaction with the pathogen and “turn his fate yet to be finalized from the point of view of interaction with the immune system”.

the soldier may not get sick — he should be quarantined until you find out, or he gets sick his immune system handle the infection it will take asymptomatic.

the Immune response does not develop immediately — we are talking about weeks and months, says Director strategic development and innovation “Invitro” Dmitry Fadin. Virus COVID-19 is quite young, and while doctors and scientists have too little data to get the answers to all the questions.

People with detected antibodies necessary to observe all precautions, Fadin quotes “Interfax” — they may just feel a little more confident the rest.
