When I offered they stated that don't do the tests.. Maybe in Ontario.. not in Bumb Fukk Alberta..
Who did you offer it to?
Blood Test for COVID-19 (serology test)
In Alberta, beginning July 2, 2020, serology for COVID-19 will be available primarily for assessing the number of people in Alberta that have of antibodies to COVID-19 and for research use. It will not be available for the general public.
Serology testing is done to determine whether you have had COVID-19 in the past, and now have antibodies against the virus.
Serology testing can only be completed if it is requested by your doctor.
It requires a blood test to determine whether you have developed antibodies against the COVID-19 virus.
Our immune system produces antibodies, proteins that are critical for fighting and clearing out the infections. It takes about 1 to 3 weeks after infection for your body to make antibodies.
Antibodies are disease specific; so if COVID-19 antibodies are detected in your blood, we know that you have been infected with COVID-19 at some point in the past.
In specific situations the serological test may be used to assist with treatment decisions. This would only be done if requested by a physician.
Serology testing will not be used for diagnosing a current COVID-19 infection.
A positive serology does NOT mean a patient is immune to COVID-19. At this time, there is a lack of evidence on whether having antibodies to COVID-19 means you are protected against reinfection with COVID-19 and if so, how long that protection would last. Ongoing studies will help reveal more information to answer these questions.
