About

Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC - Test and Trace) awarded a contract to University of Oxford for the COVID-19 National Testing Programme.

The contract, valued at AUD 1,556,400, supports the UK Biobank Seroprevalence Study under Pillar 4 of the National Testing Strategy, which aims to capture a nationwide picture of COVID-19 prevalence.

The study involves collecting monthly blood samples and symptom data from UK Biobank participants and their adult children and grandchildren to assess previous infection with SARS-CoV-2 by measuring blood antibodies across different locations and age groups.

Data will be sent to DHSC weekly, with participants contributing for an expected six months, extendable based on the pandemic's trajectory.

The UK Biobank funded activities cover participant recruitment, sample collection, sample processing, and storage.
