Good question and one we are all grappling with I think. We have a tool available, but aren’t quite sure if/how/when to use it.

 

 

So my personal take on this is:

 

My 2 cents only,

Good afternoon everyone,

 

I am curious about current opinion on how you plan to use COVID antibody results for return to work management?  

 

At this point in the pandemic, we are not requiring home isolation for exposed essential HCWs regardless of their source of exposure.

 

Given all the literature about the uncertainties with COVID antibody testing, a discussion about this on this list serve could be interesting.

 

Thank you,

 

Craig Thorne
