According to Rospotrebnadzor, about 300,000 people during the entire pandemic received positive tests for coronavirus but did not see a doctor. Golikova said they could get a QR code for a year by taking an antibody test. “For these people, we propose to issue a certificate of recovery after the information systems confirm that the person has already had a confirmed antibody test, or if he wants to take it.
Confirmation does not occur by counting the number of antibodies, but It's just that they either exist or they don't. As well as the presence of a positive PCR test in the system,” Golikova clarified.
“As for foreign citizens, since we do not yet have mutual recognition of vaccination certificates, <…> either a foreign or a Russian citizen who has been ill abroad or vaccinated with a foreign vaccine can come to the Russian Federation and also take an antibody test, and in the presence of antibodies, receive a document valid for six months, if such antibodies are confirmed in him, — said the Deputy Prime Minister (quote from TASS).
