To do a COVID-19 antibody test, typically a phlebotomist takes a blood sample. It's taken by a finger prick or by drawing blood from a vein in your arm. Then the sample goes to a lab for investigation whether you have developed antibodies against the COVID-19 virus. You can now order the test from Apollo24/7 Lab Test.
