Results from Southern California antibody test study reveal COVID-19 cases likely higher than reported.
A major new antibody study shows coronavirus could be more widespread than originally believed.
The results were from the venture's first round of testing. The study by USC researchers and the public health department is ongoing and will test thousands more in the coming weeks. A medical professional administers a coronavirus test at a drive thru testing location conducted by staffers from University of California, San Francisco Medical Center in the parking lot of the Bolinas Fire Department, April 20, 2020 in Bolinas, Calif.Sood cautioned that while the antibody testing had likely uncovered hidden cases of the coronavirus,"these tests are not good for telling if someone has immunity.
The study also showed that 7% of African Americans in the county had been infected, 6% of whites had been infected, 4.2% of Asians had been infected and 2.5% of Latinos had been infected. Ferrer said the findings underscored"the importance of expanded polymerase chain reaction testing to diagnose those with infection so they can be isolated and quarantined, while also maintaining the broad social distancing interventions."
