The results of a 10,000 person COVID-19 antibody test will be revealed Thursday morning. The research was headed by the Changhua County Public Health Bureau and National Taiwan University’s College of Public Health. The bureau and the college made the announcement Wednesday after suddenly cancelling a public report on the research on Tuesday.
The tests results have become a controversial issue, as some subjects have been found to have antibodies for COVID-19. The subjects tested include confirmed cases and their contacts, people in home quarantine, and people told to monitor their health, as well as a control group.
NTU College of Public Health Dean Chan Chang-chuan says the research team will hold a press conference in Taipei at 10 a.m. to announce how many people in Changhua were found to have the COVID-19 nucleoprotein antibodies, spike protein antibodies, and neutralizing antibodies. The team will also release reaction intensity assessment results and an analysis and comparison of the serum survey results of overseas and local cases.
