Quote from The Sun: A new antibody test which checks if people have already had coronavirus is said to be 99 per cent accurate.
The tests has been certified for use across Europe.
Accurate antibody tests could be game-changing for countries under lockdown.
It would allow experts to look at how many people have already had the virus, and potentially let people out if they have immunity.
Global diagnostics specialists Abbott, which has a UK base in Maidenhead, has said it is expecting to have shipped millions of the new lab-based tests across the UK by the end of May.
Abbott has claimed the product showed a sensitivity greater than 99 per cent in 73 coronavirus-positive patients, 14 days after symptoms developed.
It was also more than 99 per cent accurate in identifying 1,070 negative samples.
