Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which categories of health and social care providers are eligible for antibody testing for covid-19.
This question was answered on 16th July 2020
We are rolling out millions of antibody tests to help us better understand how COVID-19 is spreading across the country which will be vital for future decisions about how to best control the virus. We are now testing National Health Service and care staff as well as patients where there is an identified clinical need.
For care staff, the antibody testing programme is being rolled out in a phased way across regions in England.
