The University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic are close to unveiling antibody tests that can determine if people have already been infected by the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and are no longer threats to get or spread the infection.

His family isn’t sure exactly where he picked up the insidious novel coronavirus in a farming county of fewer than 20,000 residents. https://www.startribune.com/2-res...
