Print In an effort to trace the coronavirus throughout Orange County, UC Irvine launched antibody testing at 11 sites last summer, but a new effort through Dec. 19 is exclusively focused on Santa Ana, one of the cities most affected by the pandemic.
UC Irvine, Latino Health Access and Santa Ana officials are partnering on antibody testing to determine exposure throughout the city.
Drive-through and walk-in testing involves a questionnaire and a finger-prick blood sample that is sent to a UCI lab where about 12 different coronavirus antibodies as well as four other related viruses are tested. Participants can receive results in a week or two.
