Mass testing for antibodies to coronavirus may begin in Ukraine as early as next week

The Ministry of Health of Ukraine is preparing to approve an algorithm for mass ELISA diagnostics to detect antibodies to COVID-19 coronavirus infection.
This was stated by the Health Minister Maksym Stepanov at a traditional meeting chaired by Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to the head of the Ministry of Health, if everything goes according to plan, testing for antibodies may begin next week.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA tests) detect antibodies present in the blood of a person who has had coronavirus disease. Compared to other diseases, it can be assumed that a person who has antibodies has the relevant immunity and is not vulnerable to COVID-19.

Also, the head of the Ministry of Health Maksym Stepanov noted that preference will be given to tests made in Ukraine.
