There isn’t yet a test to say with certainty if you’ve had Covid-19. (EDIT: its coming, but isn’t available yet) I’m fairly sure I had it, but can’t be 100% certain until the test for antibodies is available.

There are antibody tests. The UK just ordered 3.5 million of them https://metro.co.uk/2020/03/24/uk-buys-3500000-antibody-test-fight-coronavirus-12450702/ https://metro.co.uk/2020/03/24/uk-buys-3500000-antibody-test...

  Right, but they’re not available yet.

    They are, there are dozens of suppliers. I don't know how quickly we will get all the 3.5m tests but in smaller quantities they are available now

there is a test, or at least I hope so because the UK has announced we've bought 3.5M of them https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51943612 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51943612

I'm in the same boat and would like to know so I can volunteer. Even just taking vitals at a hospital, cleaning or transporting things. If I'm immune I would like to provide some firewall to other people, especially vulnerable. I think we have to wait at least 2-3 weeks before we can see any in Spain.
