​Antibody Testing against COVID-19

The blood-based test detects antibodies that indicate past infection with COVID-19.

​

It may not show if you are currently infected. For this, you require a viral PCR or antigen test, which is different.

​If you currently have a fever or flu-like symptoms, please contact us by phone.

​Antibody testing is for people who:

  • Haven't had any symptoms but are curious to know if you have antibodies to COVID-19.

​Important points

  • This antibody test might not be provided to anyone who has symptoms like cough or fever. You might not be tested if you have a fever of 37.5 degrees or higher.

  • There is no guarantee of protection against COVID-19 even if you have antibodies.

  • If you are IgM positive, this means you might be able to spread the virus, and we may advise you to isolate and refer for further testing.

  • This kit has a high accuracy (clinical sensitivity 91.54%, clinical specificity 97.02%) but no test is 100% accurate.

  • ​This test is not covered by Japanese health care.
