Dried blood spot (DBS) samples can be used for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 spike antibodies. DBS sampling is comparable to matched serum samples with a relative 98.1% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Thus, DBS sampling offers an alternative for population-wide serologic testing ill the coronavirus pandemic.
