People living in Croydon who have previously tested positive for Covid-19 are being urged to take part in a key new study that hopes to unravel one of the most crucial questions posed by the virus. The government-affiliated Genomics England are running the study, which aims to discover why some people suffer serious symptoms of coronavirus while others only experience light symptoms or even none at all. From Saturday (April 24) the project will launch temporary centres set up in Croydon, Hounslow, Lambeth, Barking and Barnet and open their doors to volunteers who experienced mild or no Covid symptoms and are willing to take part.

Black and Asian men from Lancashire sought for genetic study into Covid-19 Scientists working on a ground-breaking Covid-19 medical study have issued an urgent call to people in Lancashire who caught the virus to donate blood at a special ‘pop up’ centre. To encourage more people to join the study, a temporary centre at the Legacy Preston International Hotel on Marsh Lane will open its doors to volunteers on Friday. If participants don’t wish to travel, they also have the option of booking a home visit with a nurse. The unique GenOMICC Covid-19 study analyses the genes of people who have had the virus to discover why some experienced no symptoms while others became extremely ill.
