know for sure if antibodies, the presence of antibodies means that someone is immune. we're hopeful because that is what happens with many viruses. >> reporter: to get an antibody test, it must be ordered by a doctor. more health care systems testing later this month. lynch does not expect a reagent shortage. kate larsen, abc7 news. the nfl is planning to go ahead with the regular season in september, but if the games are played at all, fans are not planning on attending sports fao to a game without a vaccine for coronavirus. most experts say a vaccine is at least a year away. in the south bay, volunteers are providing food to people in need. many of the recipienav ve tov t of people were stretching for blocks. one of the church passers said they distributed a month's worth

for the past several weeks we had some conflicting information whether we should be wearing masks or face coverings and the it's clear the answer is now yes. a new abc news poll released this morning is looking at how many americans are actually wearing them sore so they say. here are the numbers, 55% of americans who left their home in the last week say they wore a face mask or face covering while 45% said they did not. when you look at it from a partisan approach, 62% of democrats say yes while 42% of republicans say yes. still, president trump's approval for his handling of the crisis continues to drop. this week, disapproval among americans is at 55% with only 44% approving. when you look at it as far as the concern from americans. the partisan differentiation there is much less stark, i'd say. 90% of democrats polled say they are concerned. and 82% of republicans polled say they are concerned.
