○ KCDC National institute of Health(K-NIH) said that they successfully developed a probe to detect COVID-19 antibody in the blood on 10 March. Techniques to identify whether body’s immune system can produce antibodies against antigen are essential for evaluating the efficacy of vaccines or therapeutics.
○ K-NIH has established a test (Immunofluorescence Assay, IFA) to examine the human body’s immunological response on the blood obtained from COVID-19 patients. K-NIH plans to accelerate the development of related therapeutics based on the development of a probe to detect COVID-19 antibody.
○ KCDC urges to local government to cooperate with facilities as cases are confirmed around group facilities, multi-use facilities, and medical centers. Also KCDC recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, and social distancing to avoid population crowding or cancel/suspend gathering activities.
