Detailed Project Description
- Determine risk factors for COVID-19 virus infection
- Estimate the prevalence of Covid-19 antibodies in age and sex sub-groups
- Assess antibody levels quantitatively and neutralising antibody concentrations for future comparisons with correlates of protection for herd immunity estimations
- & to assess cytotoxic T-cell responses in a sub-group of respondents who have and do not have antibody responses, in order to identify what proportion of individuals may have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 but do not have detectable antibodies.
