The presence of antibodies does not guarantee that an individual is not capable of infection and transmitting the virus, therefore individuals who have been previously infected may still put others at risk.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 12/01/2022 10:05:33 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup previous answer version 42111 answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
