New York will begin testing thousands of residents this week for Covid-19 antibodies as the state moves to reopen the economy in the coming weeks and months, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday.
But that effort, which he cast as the “most aggressive statewide antibody testing survey in the nation,” still falls short of the capacity needed to screen the state’s 9 million person workforce and 19 million residential population for Covid-19 — an essential part of any reopening strategy, Cuomo noted. Just a thought.
