Governor Cuomo says any plan to re-open New York State needs to be based on data, which requires an uptick in testing. He says the state will commence antibody testing this week.
An antibody test discovers whether an individual has had COVID19 which they then self-resolved.
The state hopes to determine how widespread coronavirus infections actually are.
Several Wegmans stores around the state have been chosen as testing sites -- including the one on East Avenue in Rochester.
