COVID-19 and RECETOX

The following links demonstrate RECETOX’s role in informing and solving the global crisis caused by COVID-19.
  • Antibody testing – the COVID-19 Study guaranteed by Prof. Vojtěch Thon was the precursor for inviting RECETOX to join the global WHO expert groups, which discuss and coordinate activities related to the presence of COVID-19 antibodies in the blood. You can also join the study!
