NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – People could soon use color-coded bracelets and buttons to help communicate their COVID-19 status as communities begin reopening after months of shutdown restrictions.
The C19 I.D. Project is making bands and pins that reflect an individual's social-distancing preferences and antibody status, so people feel more at ease going out in public.
A red band tells others, "I'm social distancing. I'm physically distancing. I need space." A green one conveys, "I tested positive for the antibodies, and I'm willing to socialize normally with other people who feel the same way."

"Those who wear green knowingly take on a risk of socializing, however, only with each other," the project's website reads.
