The Government has bought 3.5 million finger-prick antibody tests that could soon radically transform the UK's response to Covid-19
What is an antibody test? An antibody test can detect if a person has had the coronavirus before and has since recovered. The test, carried out by a device that pricks your finger for blood, works this out by testing your blood for coronavirus antibodies to see if they have already beaten the virus and gained some immunity to it. It can do this in about 15 minutes.
