Beginning Tuesday, the Georgia Department of Public Health is partnering with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Fulton and DeKalb County Boards of Health to conduct an antibody testing survey to better understand how many people may have already been infected with the virus that causes coronavirus.

From Tuesday through May 4, teams of public health professionals will visit randomly selected homes in different areas of Fulton and DeKalb counties. Household members will be asked to answer survey questions and provide a blood sample to be tested for antibodies for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Antibodies are produced when someone has previously been infected with the coronavirus.

Fulton and DeKalb counties were selected because community transmission of confirmed coronavirus cases is occurring in these counties. Only homes approached by the investigation teams are eligible to participate. Participation is voluntary.
