BREAKING: Major League Baseball is participating in a massive coronavirus antibody study, with up to 10,000 tests taken nationwide over the next two days. Researchers hope the results offer a far better understanding of coronavirus' spread. News at ESPN: https://es.pn/2ykpUJx 

Worth noting: The antibody test, which detects whether a person contracted coronavirus regardless of symptoms, is not taking away the ability to be tested for the disease from the sick or healthcare workers. This is a test typically used for research and epidemiological purposes.

Further, the results, doctors said, will not help determine whether MLB can return any sooner. The information used for the study will be de-identified, and player involvement will depend on the team. Everyone from players to concession workers will receive antibody tests.

MLB was among a number of companies considered for the testing, researchers said. They targeted large companies with employees in multiple metropolitan areas. As the paper written on the study is peer reviewed, researchers expect it to include an accounting of the sample.
