If you're interested in getting antibody testing done, please reach out to us here. The ultimate question: Should I get tested? Knowing the immunity status of our community is very important to slowing the transmission of COVID-19. It can also help you personally know the best next steps for your own health. As we learn more about the longevity of protection these antibodies can provide, we can also help inform recommendations to reduce social distancing or return to in-person work. As long as you're utilizing the best of the information available in regards to antibody testing methods, we would recommend it to anyone who is interested. You can contact us here to learn more about the testing we're offering, and to get in on our first rounds of screening. If you choose not to get antibody testing, you can still #flattenthecurve by keeping your immune system steady, washing your hands, and maintaining social distancing and isolation until we've passed the peak of COVID-19.
