However, the person in question stated that he had antibodies and that there was therefore no cause for concern. Only after two days did the doctor leave the job. It was then established that he had covid-19 and that no antibody test had ever been done. The doctor, who is suspected of having infected 13 people, was dismissed by the hospital.
