The RedRiver Health and Wellness Center is conducting antibody test studies for COVID-19 with a focus on Washington County.

A doctor from RedRiver Health and Wellness Center, Dr. Josh Redd, says this study will help them understand the prevalence of the virus, see how many people are infected and find the mortality rate.

He added that there's evidence the virus was circulating in Utah and Washington County as early as late last year.

Antibody testing will be conducted throughout the state, but Washington County is currently the most urgent population.
