The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday that there was "no evidence" so far to suggest that people who have recovered from novel coronavirus cannot get infected from the same virus again.&nbsp;

The WHO also warned against issuing "immunity passports" or "risk-free certificates" to patients who have recovered, saying the action might lead to increase of the virus's spread as the standard precautions might be ignored.&nbsp;
