Singles now flaunting antibody test results in dating profiles

Singles across the country are boasting about their coronavirus antibody test results when they're out on the prowl. Some are even including the status of the test results in their online dating profiles, using their possible immunity to score a lover in the middle of a pandemic.

"About a week and a half ago, my clients started asking questions like, 'Maureen, this person that you matched me with, do you think they've had the coronavirus?' " says Maureen Tara Nelson, a Long Island-based matchmaker who plans to ask new clients about their COVID status going forward. "We're asking people if they're comfortable sharing if they've had it, and if they'd like to to know if the person they're matching has had it."

Nelson says the health precaution "keeps clients more safe, and in the know," but a clean bill of health doesn't necessarily mean singles are safe for sex.
