COVID-19 antibody test
After an initial letter asking me to take part in a COVID-19 antibody testing research study, this kit arrived yesterday. So this afternoon I read the enclosed leaflets, opened the kit and did the test. The result was negative. Afterwards I had to answer a long list of questions in an online questionnaire - the hardest part! - but now I know that there's a fair chance I haven't had coronavirus. The test isn't 100% accurate at an individual level so it doesn't necessarily mean I haven't contracted it, but I hope the test and my answers will help research into fighting the disease.
