Collection of Coronavirus COVID-19 Outbreak Samples in New South Wales (COSiN)

June 28, 2021 updated by: Kirby Institute
The objectives of this study are to characterise immune responses in people with CoV-SARS-2 infection and use this knowledge to advance vaccine design, treatment options, and diagnostic reagents. Eligible participants will include people diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection, and may include recently returned travellers and non-travellers in the community presenting to tertiary hospital healthcare facilities. Recruitment will be opportunistic, and sampling intensity may vary depending on the phase of the outbreak. Participants can be enrolled at any timepoint (up to 6 months) following diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19). Blood samples and clinical data will be collected.
