An antibody test looks for antibodies produced by your immune system in response to a threat, such as a specific virus. Antibodies can help fight infection. Antibodies can take several days or weeks to develop after you have an infection and can remain in your blood for several weeks. or more after recovery. 


Because of this, Antibody tests should not be used to diagnose COVID-19. At this time, researchers do not know if the presence of antibodies means that it is immune to COVID-19 in the future.
