Three of South Africa’s leading private pathology labs are now offering Covid-19 antibody tests – after a lengthy approval delay by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA).
The recently-approved antibody tests are significantly cheaper than the gold-standard of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test, which tests for active infections.
