Well it depends on your exposed viral load
Having anti-bodies reduces the viral load in your body, which also means that there are fewer viral fragments exiting your body
The policies are to reduce spread, not eliminate it

>but you can still carry/spread it right?
Once you have recovered? I don't think so, at least not if you have a healthy immune system.
I understand that you would have antibodies and it be very unlikely if you carry the virus it would be unlikely to overwhelm your immune system in that time, but you can still carry/spread it right?
More directly related to the policy in question they can test you for antibodies, and maybe it is immaterial, but do they distinguish if you had covid 1 month ago vs 3 months vs 6 months? So does it work on the honor system or are they testing for antibodies, is it simply a matter of if you had covid at any point it doesn’t matter if you still carry antibodies you are not subject to quarantine?
