Soon, there will be millions of people in the United States of America who have recovered from COVID-19. Some reports say they will not likely get infected with the deadly novel coronavirus again, and won't be spreading the virus.

Certified Recovered

This suggests a measure to operate essential services more safely and to reopen closed sectors faster than predicted. The states with the highest number of COVID-19 cases should start setting up verifiable, creditable, and voluntary campaigns to identify people as 'certified recovered,' says an article. Recently, researchers from Germany have proposed a similar campaign.

The Problem

Federal authorities are being pulled in two separate directions. One is the postponement of business operations in different sectors of the economy and assisting people in preventing them from leaving their homes.

This helps prevent the further spread of the deadly disease. However, people will soon see the economic impact of these acts. So, Congress passed a stimulus package of $2 trillion to keep the economy open. Also, this keeps the demand in the economy stimulated.

However, when many sectors of the economy are closed, demand is difficult to stimulate.

The Certification Process

Allowing patients who recovered from the illness to get a certification of recovery from COVID-19 may help improve the economy and prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Certification for patients who recovered from COVID-19 may include a series of tests and updating of hospital records. This could start for patients with positive COVID-19 tests and symptoms of the illness.

Since the FDA now approves immediate antibody and viral tests, new testing for the COVID-19 will be faster. If the certification comes along with those tests, then the United Stated can create a vital unique and a specialized workforce of those who are 'certified recovered' in the short period.

Is Reinfection Possible?

There is still no absolute certainty if people who developed antibodies against the novel coronavirus can still get reinfected. For the severe acute respiratory syndrome or SARS, immunity from former patients lasted up to two years. Monkeys who were infected with the novel coronavirus and survived had developed resistance from it.

According to a London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine's infectious disease expert named Martin Hibberd, individuals who recover from COVID-19 are less likely to get reinfected.

This information suggests that creating a certification system for those who recovered from the illness is possible.

Work for Certified Recovered

Certified recovered individuals may be given frontline contact positions in the retail and medical fields. This helps them fight against COVID-19 a lot safer.

Also, these people could be assigned to work closely with the elderly and those who are vulnerable to the illness.

Additionally, certified recovered people could be assigned to work in the food preparation industry. Imagine, a service business with a full staff of 100% certified recovered preparing food. This will become a successful venture.

Moreover, certified recovered people could get jobs as bus drivers to deliver patients to hospitals.

There are endless possibilities for the people who have won over the novel coronavirus, and sending them to the frontline can help give the economy a boost.
