I thought the test was $119 if you had to pay for it yourself, but I can't find confirmation of that on a quick search. Please update us if you follow through with the test, I'm interested.

I too thought I had COVID-19 In January. My illness checked every box of known symptoms. I was out for about 5 to 6 weeks. Recovered. Always wondered whether it was indeed Covid or not. Since we just arrived in The Villages in April and have no doctor I was able to go online and order an antibody test from Quest labs. The total came to $129. They have facilities all over. You can choose the location near you to have blood drawn. It was worth the peace of mind. Unfortunately, I was hoping for a positive but the test came back negative. I’m still not convinced it wasn’t COVID 19.
