Who should get COVID-19 testing? – GulfToday – Gulf Today

Dr. Bobbi Pritt, a clinical microbiologist at Mayo Clinic, acknowledges that there seems to be a lot of confusion with the general public when it comes to COVID-19 testing.. If you test positive for COVID-19 from the swab test, you will be asked to self-isolate to stop the spread of infection.. The blood test for antibodies is used to determine how many people in a population have been infected with COVID-19.. A positive test doesn't guarantee protection against re-infection with the COVID-19 virus.". "If you were tested and have not received your results, please reach out to your health care provider by phone or email," says Dr. Pritt. ".
