The Uppsala region stops all antibody testing in the county as of today. The reason is that there have been incidents with a risk of spreading the infection.
“You have to be symptom-free for at least two weeks before you can get the antibody test done. But unfortunately, it has happened that patients with symptoms have come to clinics with the belief that they will be able to get a CRP test at the They have infected the staff and pose a risk to other people visiting the health center, “says Director of Health and Medical Care, Mikael Köhler, in a press release.
Antibody tests are taken like blood tests and are intended to see if a person has had a COVID-19 infection before.
The sampling should now be reviewed to ensure that it is done in an infection-proof manner. It is not yet clear when it can be resumed, says Mikael Köhler. PCR testing – that is, testing to see if a person has an ongoing covid-19 infection – is not affected.
