SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Testing

In order to determine prior infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, some testing locations have offered testing for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. A positive test result indicates you may have antibodies from an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19, or from infection with a related virus from the same family of viruses.

It is not yet known if having antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19 can protect someone from getting infected again or, if they do, how long this protection might last.
