Several companies are now trying to develop test for Covid-19 antibodies. One company is trying to make an at home test for about $70. They are still in the FDA submission process. Why is this important? Testing for the antibodies will help us figure out who has had the virus and who is now likely immune. Antibody testing can also identify those people that could potentially donate their plasma to treat Covid-19 patients will severe cases. This type of testing will be crucial as we start to plan to go back to work.
