Maryland’s Department of Health announced Thursday it will partner with 13 hospitals around the state to launch an antibody study on unused blood samples. It’s part of a new program to incorporate antibody testing into the state’s continued strategy to fight COVID-19.
The News4 I-Team first asked about that strategy in May, when Virginia began posting its antibody testing details online, with positive and negative results listed by local health district. In mid-July, Maryland provided the I-Team with data showing more than 81,000 Marylanders had been antibody tested through private vendors.
