Riverside County Antibody Testing<br />
Riverside County will begin antibody testing to better understand the<br />
prevalence of COVID-19 in our region. About 3,500 randomly selected county<br />
residents will be asked if they are interested in taking part in the study. Potential<br />
participants will be contacted by telephone or email starting later this week.<br />
Participation is voluntary and anonymous – Public Health will not collect the<br />
individual’s information from the study. Residents cannot volunteer for the<br />
study, in part, because health officials want a more representative sampling of<br />
the community.<br />
As a reminder, the medical community does not yet know the extent of the<br />
benefits of testing positive for coronavirus antibodies. For example, it is not yet<br />
known if someone can contract the virus again after testing positive for antibodies.<br />
Conducting this study will provide valuable information as COVID-19<br />
continues to be researched.<br />
Those who are selected will complete a survey, then have blood drawn at<br />
one of nine sites located throughout the county. These sites are not the same<br />
locations where coronavirus testing for active infections is taking place. For more<br />
information about the antibody testing, visit www.rivcoph.org/antibodystudy.
