Scientists have developed a blood test that can detect immunity to coronavirus. Researchers in New York plan to roll out the cutting-edge antibody detector in the next few days.
Anyone who is verified as having immunity will be allowed to go outside and have full social contact as they can’t transmit the virus.
Antibodies from fighting coronavirus should be detectable after seven days of execution. But it is still too soon to tell how long the immunity will last.
Test creator Dr Florian Kramer said the it was “cheap, straightforward, and easy to scale.” He said: “People probably cannot get reinfected once they mount a good immune response and have antibody levels. “Once that is the case, these people are more likely safe to resume
