Antibody testing concerns
A group of U.K. physicians and academics voice their concerns about widespread SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing in a letter in The BMJ. The authors emphasize that “a positive result does not indicate immunity.” They write, “Those with a positive antibody test should still consider themselves at risk and follow infection control policies designed to prevent nosocomial spread and risk of infection,” while adding that “the only current justification for large scale SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody testing is for research purposes.” Read more of their letter, as well as an investigation into SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing, at the links below.
