Albany County Executive Dan McCoy told reporters Monday that he got an antibody test in May which showed he previously contracted the virus.
“When I got tested (for coronavirus I had) been negative every time, but I did do the antibodies (test) and I had it,†McCoy said during a press briefing.
He added that antibodies do not mean he’s immune from the coronavirus.

No new deaths have been reported in the county, which has reported 126 total deaths from coronavirus.
More than 18 million cases of coronavirus have been confirmed worldwide, including 4.7 million in the U.S.
