IgG is the slower-forming, longer-persisting antibody class, so a positive result is associated with a previous encounter with the SARS-CoV-2 virus rather than a current acute infection. The clinic explicitly notes that IgG antibodies may be present after a past illness whether or not it…

The whole appointment is short — around 15 minutes for the draw and paperwork. The laboratory then processes the serum and releases the result within five working days at the latest; results can be collected through the…

It is not suitable during an active respiratory illness, and AKI's laboratory states it will not perform the test while acute symptoms are present — sampling should wait until at least 14 days after recovery.
