According to MedPageToday.com, “At-Home Antibody Testing assesses for IgM and IgG antibodies from COVID-19. The procedure is similar to a fingerstick blood glucose test…A test kit would be sent via mail or picked up at a local pharmacy or lab. Individuals would then prick their finger as for a blood glucose test. Results appear in 10-15 minutes, similar to a home pregnancy test with colorimetric reading.”
