It's understood people who have been infected with coronavirus may have developed immunity, making them safe to return to work and allowing Britain's economy to restart.Superdrug's home test requires a few drops of blood, which need to be collected into a small vial, before being returned using a free-post label in the secure packaging provided.But those who take the test and receive a positive result are urged to continue following the Government's social distancing guidelines.
"The test will only be available online via our online doctor service and will not be available in our stores.”An effective antibody test has been seen as one of the potential keys to easing lockdown.
