Health Ministry to launch antibody tests for relatives of COVID-19 patients: report

The Health Ministry will this week launch an initiative to perform coronavirus antibody tests to identify people who have had COVID-19 and recovered without being diagnosed, Channel 12 reports.

Right now, the initiative is limited to relatives of confirmed patients.

People who have antibodies detected in their blood will be eligible to receive a document exempting them from quarantine and gathering restrictions once a vaccination campaign begins, the report says.
