Abstract

The FOPH is supporting a research project in the canton of Geneva, which will provide important insights into understanding the immune response of the Swiss population to the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and thus to the further measures to be initiated. Over a period of eight weeks, a total of 4,000-5,600 people are examined using a serological blood test (antibody test) with regard to their immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and, at the same time, asked about symptoms and behavior. In addition, blood serum samples that were taken before SARS-CoV-2 occurred are tested for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.
