ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – The Orange County Convention Center COVID-19 antibody test site reached capacity Thursday morning, according to the Florida Division of Emergency Management. Officials said swab testing for the coronavirus is still available. Antibody tests determine if someone has developed antibodies for the virus, which indicates they had COVID-19 at some point. The line for the testing site at the convention center began in the early hours Thursday morning. “We have six swab lanes and two antibody lanes and once those antibody tests have been exhausted for the day, we can convert them into swab lanes, so we actually have eight swab lanes that are up and running,” Jachles said.
