Care home testing to launch to understand spread of COVID-19
Around 10,000 people who work or reside in care homes will be given repeat testing as part of a new UCL-led government cohort study. The study aims to provide greater insight into the spread of coronavirus in these settings, enabling staff to react quickly to outbreaks. The research will take place in 106 care homes across England and will be carried out by a team led by Dr Laura Shallcross (UCL Institute of Health Informatics) in partnership with the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS Data Foundry.
