Health Ministry: HMOs to launch widespread serological testing next week
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Health Ministry says widespread serological testing will begin next week, led by Israel’s health maintenance organizations.
The initial round of testing will include 70,000 people from all over the country, it says. Tens of thousands more will later be tested as part of an ongoing effort.
Health Minister Yuli Edelstein says the tests, which identify coronavirus antibodies in the blood and can help better assess the country’s infection rate and readiness for a new sickness wave, “are another important tool to give us a better intelligence assessment on coronavirus hotspots.”
