Research

COVID Study
Background and objectives: to look at the differences between sample types and age in detection of SARS-CoV-2 in the outpatient adult and pediatric population (that are tested at the rapid satellite clinic at CW). To see if there are noticeable differences over time in positivity rates and how strong positive samples tested, especially with emergence of the delta variant over the late summer in BC.
