Department to conduct randomized coronavirus antibody testing

To gain a better understanding of how far the coronavirus has spread throughout the city, the Houston Health Department will begin conducting random antibody testing Sept. 8, officials announced September 2.

Health department employees accompanied by a Houston Fire Department paramedic will ask randomly chosen residents to fill out a brief health questionnaire and provide a blood sample through a finger prick, Houston Emergency Medical Director Dr. David Persse said.
