Covid antibodies: If a person does not have antibodies to Covid-19, then they are still susceptible to the virus. When the virus enters the body, antibodies are made. This can occur even if the person has no symptoms or minimal symptoms of the Covid-19 illness. If the antibody test is negative, the virus has not entered the body.

See below: 1. You have not been infected with the virus is the most likely explanation. 2. You were infected but did not make the antibody. 3. The test was flawed and the result is erroneous.
