Exclusive: First coronavirus antibody test given approval by Public Health England

The Telegraph  

UPDATE: Since this article was posted, published results of PHE's evaluation of the Roche test show that although 100% of negative samples accurately came back as negative, 16% of samples taken from people who had had the virus did not show up as positive. A coronavirus antibody test kit has been approved by Public Health England, The Telegraph has learned, in a breakthrough that could be key to easing the UK's lockdown restrictions. The accuracy of the test was given approval by experts at PHE’s Porton Down facility last week. The development of an accurate antibody test has long been seen as key to helping Britain get back to work, with Boris Johnson having previously described such tests as "game-changing".
