DIFFERENT TESTS AVAILABLE 

• There are currently two testing options: 

  • Nasal Swab - this test is a nasal swab that uses molecular testing to determine the presence of viral genomic material.  This test is only useful to tell if someone is currently active with an infection.  

  • Antibody Testing - this test is a blood draw that uses serological analysis to measure an individual’s antibody response corresponding to COVID-19.  Antibodies are part of the body’s immune mechanism to fight off infection, and remember a past infection to build immunity to specific antigens (foreign invaders). This test will tell if an individual has recovered from COVID-19. 

• Recent coverage of antibody testing from CNN found here.
