COV-19 Antibody Testing in Georgia. Government workers are "visiting randomly Selected homes".

Antibody testing

The Georgia Department of Public Health, Fulton County Board of Health, and DeKalb County Board of Health are working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to learn more about the spread of COVID-19 in the community. From April 28 through May 4, teams will be visiting randomly selected homes to ask residents questions about their health and collect blood samples for an antibody test. Antibodies are proteins the body makes in response to infections. The antibody test can tell us whether a person might have had a past infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. The antibody test is not meant to diagnose whether a person has COVID-19 now. Participation is voluntary. For more information visit, https://dph.georgia.gov/covid-19-antibody-testing

The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century. In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.
