A PCR test can be inconclusive if the sample given is not enough or the person is close to recovery or has an early infection. In this case, one needs to wait for 48 hours and give the sample again for assesment.
To do a COVID-19 antibody test, typically a phlebotomist takes a blood sample. It's taken by a finger prick or by drawing blood from a vein in your arm. Then the sample goes to a lab for investigation whether you have developed antibodies against the COVID-19 virus. You can now order the test from Apollo24/7 Lab Test.
