This is exactly the kind of panic-inducing message which leads to a loss of public trust in governments/NGOs. It would be just as accurate to have stated, "There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies aren't protected from a second infection." Quite why they have chosen to make this kind of statement publicly, I don't know.
...because double negatives are confusing to a lot of people. Better to be straight than offer some false hopes.
