Why Serology Testing for COVID-19?

Serology testing will allow us to develop a better understanding of how the virus spreads and the true denominator to determine statistics like fatality rates. Serology tests use a patients blood, serum, or plasma to identify the presence of IgM and IgG antibodies. Serology testing allows determination of active infection and whether someone has built up an immunity to the virus based on past exposure. Unlike PCR based testing, Serology testing provides rapid results in 10 minutes.

• Typically, IgM peaks at day 5.
• IgG peaks at 14-21 days.
• IgM appears first and then slowly drops off. As IgM diappears and IgG picks up, this indicates the patient is likely entering recovery and at some point no longer contagious.
• IgM and IgG are helpful bio-markers to make the determination of patients immune status, whether or not they are contagious, recovering, etc.
