2.- Serological tests, antibodies (in blood), looking for the presence of virus antibodies, these tests should only be done 8/10 days after possible contagion or contact with positives, since these antibodies are a response of the immune system against the virus, it takes several days for them to appear in the blood, are two techniques, A an B:
A.-Serological test (Elisa method): (IgG IgM quantitative method) that
venous blood is drawn and it takes the laboratory 48/72 hours to give the
results
