In November Canada’s COVID-19 Immunity Task Force (CITF) announced a new study to identify how many Canadians have been previously infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
The test kits are now in the mail and some have arrived in the Townships.
The project, conducted by Statistics Canada, is first to use a nationally representative sample to reflect COVID-19 seroprevalence right across Canada at national, provincial, and territorial levels.
The study involves sending test kits and surveys to 48,000 Canadians ages one and up, at their homes, in all 10 provinces and three territories. The objective is to assess how many Canadians have had COVID-19, and whether they had symptoms or not.
