Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced today that antibody tests will be deployed to drive-through testing sites.
"We're also going to be announcing this week the deployment of antibody tests at our drive-through testing facilities. So the antibody tests test whether your body has developed antibodies which means that you have had the disease in the past," DeSantis said.
The governor said they've "already received 200,000 antibody tests for serological testing."
"We've done a survey of all the hospitals that may need some, so we're going to send them to any hospital that wants it, clearly it's important for the doctors and the nurses. So we're going to do that, and then we're going to have lanes dedicated to antibody testing at our drive-through sites," DeSantis said.
"We're also going to likely do our own state of Florida study where we can try to determine the prevalence in different parts of the state," he added.
