An oral COVID-19 antibody test is being developed in Bethlehem. It could be ready this summer.

Here’s how the test would work: human antibodies would be collected from oral fluid via a wand and pad and placed into the OraSure oral fluid specimen collection device buffer for storage and transport to a lab for testing. The company notes the test is easier and pain-free compared to the deep nose swabs COVID-19 testing uses and serology antibody testing blood draws.LeightValley
