“Did you find something that explains why they are doing this? If yes, please share it.”
“This will enable us to conduct on-site tests and provide immediate confirmation for Emirates passengers traveling to countries that require COVID-19 test certificates.”
It still doesn’t answer my question. What the hell good is an antibody test for getting a “COVID-19 test certificate”?
At this point, the only thing that makes sense if that you 1) tested negative for being sick today AND 2) that you have immunity based on an antibody test. You should get on the plane only if you pass #1 and #2.
You can get a “pass” on your antibody test, but that may not mean you are not going to get sick again.
I’d much rather know the person next to me is not sick NOW.
So, whoever is requiring these “test certificates” is not thinking this through.
