Description:Two kinds of tests are available for COVID-19: viral tests and antibody tests.
• A viral test tells you if you have a current infection.
• An antibody test tells you if you had a previous infection
An antibody test may not be able to show if you have a current infection, because it can take 1-3 weeks to make antibodies after symptoms occur. We do not know yet if having antibodies to the virus can protect someone from getting infected with the virus again, or how long that protection might last.
