How University Of Arizona's Antibody Tests Could Be COVID-19 'Game Changer'

The University of Arizona says it’ll produce 250,000 COVID-19 antibody tests for health care and other frontline workers and first responders across Arizona.

The blood tests will allow patients to see if they’d been infected with COVID-19 and had recovered, whether or not they showed symptoms.

The UA’s president has said he wants to provide antibody tests to roughly 60,000 students, faculty and staff at the school.

With The Show to talk more about these tests is Kacey Ernst, an Associate Professor of Epidemiology at the UA College of Public Health.

She started by sharing what the results of these tests tell us.
