New York to start "aggressive" antibody testing, governor says

New York state will undertake the “most aggressive” statewide antibody testing survey in the nation over the next week, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo said they will sample thousands of people across the state to find out if they have antibodies.
“That will tell us for the first time what percent of the population actually has had the coronavirus and is now at least short term immune to the virus," he said.
“This will be the first true snapshot of what we’re really dealing with," Cuomo added.
The New York State Department of Health will be running the tests over the next week.
The state will have to work with the White House to assist with the supply chain and coordinate private labs, Cuomo said.
