Abstract

National and targeted sero-surveys of population immunity to SARS-COV2 to inform clinical and public health responsesObjectives:Determine the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection at a national level during and following the initial wave of community transmissionDetermine the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in vulnerable populationsDetermine factors (demographic, individual-level, occupational, travel or other) associated with the development of SARS-CoV-2 infection at a national and subpopulation levelExamine the utility of newly developed serological assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection
