Health official says ministry has started administering antibodies test

The Health Ministry’s Professor Sigal Sadetsky, head of public health services, says the ministry began administering its first batch of antibodies tests today — on foreign workers. Speaking to reporters, she says the country’s HMOs are set to begin carrying out antibody tests around the country, adding that residents of Bnei Brak — the country’s hardest-hit city — will soon be given the tests to measure how many have been infected by the virus.

The criteria for who will be eligible for the tests is not immediately clear.
