There haven't been enough tests for that.
For the hospital group I work for in Georgia, patients can't get tested for Covid 19 unless they are so sick they need to be admitted. I've been able to order a Covid-19 antibody test for 10 days which can show past infection prior to 4-6 weeks ago, but only for patients that aren't currently sick.
For anyone who actually has symptoms of Covid-19 and needs a PCR test we still have to refer them to a testing center.
