A rapid testing kit is now available for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) antibody that could give results in 29 minutes.
According to a report by state news agency Xinhua, the kit was approved by the National Medical Products Administration.
The kit, developed by a research team led by Xiamen University, can be used for clinical cases, suspected cases and the screening of high-risk groups, improving the testing efficiency of front-line medical institutions.
This kit has already undergone clinical trials in hospitals in Wuhan.
The combination of nucleic acid tests and antibody detection has said to improve the detection rate.
So if you get this test and discover that you have antibodies, that means you have already had and survived the virus and are no longer at risk?
