One of the advantages of rapid antibody tests is that the antibody response stays in the system long after the infection has cleared. The problem with molecular testing is that once the viral load in the body reduces, the tests become less accurate. Antibody tests are useful in screening for people who have been infected and developed antibodies but were asymptomatic. It is therefore a more flexible solution for community based screening. People’s autoimmune responses vary greatly therefore some people are symptomatic faster than others and some not symptomatic at all and therefore can be hidden carriers. Antibody rapid tests can be used as an adjunct to PCR tests to assist getting people back to work sooner.
The Antibody tests will not replace the current PCR test for COVID-19. The two would work in unison to make diagnosis more effective.
