GCHD Does Not Support Antibidy Testing

The Grant County Health District issues an advisory about antibody testing for the coronavirus. At this time, the Grant County Health Officer is not recommending it although 2 tests have been authorized under FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization process because they have not gone through a full FDA approval process. Antibody testing cannot be used for diagnosis of COVID-19 as that can only be done through standard testing with a nasal swab.
