Widespread antibody testing will not be sufficient to answer that question. It appears that a significant fraction of patients who recover from asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections don't produce detectable levels of antibodies.

You may also have some level of antibodies without actually getting sick like what happens with tb. Besides if vaccine is eventually developed antibody test will be useless

Thanks for providing a link. For anyone else who comes along, the supporting statement isn't very prominent; you can find it in:

"If you test negative" > "You could still have a current infection." > 2nd sub-bullet
