Hmm, I have different info, Abbott's PCR test returns results in less than 5 Minutes (Mesabiotech 30mins / Cepheid 45mins), 70%(Abbott) accuracy, so a combination of different tests should reduce the error rate to an acceptable level . Time to get results is not the issue, the antibody test is useful if indeed it is proven that reinfection is impossible or extremely low and they cannot be carriers / spreaders so in fact immunized.
I'm sure scientists can figure this out
On a side note (sarcasm) It would be nice if scanning people thru a UVC source was safe to kill newly topically exposed humans, unfortunately it seems to be very dangerous. That's how they disinfect buses(empty) in China.
