RE:RE:Covid testThis is off the Alberta Health Services website and is how they explain the use of serology tests. Immusafe's tests could increase the use of serology tests ..
Serology (Blood) Testing
Serology testing examines a person’s blood to see if they have generated antibodies in response to being infected by the COVID-19 virus. It takes about one to three weeks following an infection for your body to make antibodies, therefore serology testing is only used to identify past exposure to virus and is not used for diagnosing current COVID-19 infections.
Serology testing is not used for diagnostic purposes but is currently being used for surveillance and research purposes to assess the number of people in Alberta who have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and to inform some medical treatment decisions. It is not available to the general public in Alberta, and tests must be ordered by a physician and approved by provincial virology experts.
