Please see below a reminder of tomorrow’s online IPHS seminar.
Institute of Population Health Sciences (IPHS) Online Seminar
Wednesday 3rd February 2021, 2:00pm to 3:00pm
Title: What have we learned from the ONS Coronavirus Infection Survey about infection rates, immunity, the new variant?
Discussants: Koen Pouwels, Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford
Summary: The ONS Coronavirus Infection Survey was set up end of April 2020 to track infection rates, antibodies and address several other questions related to the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The study is design as a dynamic household survey with longitidunal follow-up and as of 18 January almost 2.5 million swab positivity results and approximately 100,000 antibody tests. In this seminar I'll discuss some of the main results from the study - and other studies - with a focus on providing representative estimates of PCR positivity in near-realtime, changes in risk factors over time, emerging evidence around relative transmissability the new B.1.1.7/VOC202012/01 variant and the extent to which antibodies protect against new infection.
All are welcome!
