I should say in laymen's terms, those who have immunity can be exposed to the virus, but it will not replicate in them and they will not be able to transmit the virus to those without immunity.
It would be a significant advantage to identify who has immunity and who doesn't, and these blood tests will likely be able to be done at a larger scale than Covid-19 testing.
Lots of implications to this. Most of them very good. Only bad one could be HIPPA-related in terms of people being discriminated against because of their immune status.
