Abstract

The project will establish an immediate, broad and national COVID-19 collaboration over the next six months, in order to collect diagnostic blood samples from hospitals across all of Denmark. The purpose is to build a unique research infrastructure with 500,000 biological samples from all types of patients, including patients with very early stages of COVID-19 infection, patients with acute and life-threatening infections and patients who have recovered from the infection. All biological samples will be made available, free of charge, for COVID-19-related research projects within the next two years.
