Abstract

Presented by João Bosco Siqueira (UFG), the research seeks to identify viral circulation and the evolution of transmission of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in the state of Goiás, through sequential serological surveys. In addition, the study will assess the accuracy of the rapid test to be used in comparison with standard methodology and produce new epidemiological parameters based on the actual circulation of the virus to feed the medium-term scenario prediction models.
