Antibody IgG test is the one that should be done. IgG titres above 1 indicates that exposure had occurred and appropriate immune response has been generated. Total antibody test is less reliable as it would also detect IgM antibodies (the first ones to form post covid infection) ans would therefore give falsely higher values of total antibody titre.

covid 19 IgG antibody test
