Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) – Serology | Public Health Ontario - ISS-G20 Laboratorium Repository

This test provides qualitative detection of serum IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Due to the potential for false negative and false positive results, COVID-19 serology should not be used as a diagnostic test except in very rare circumstances. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies do not correlate with recovery or infectivity. Serology also cannot be used to assess whether a person is immune to COVID-19 or to determine their COVID-19 vaccination status.
