(LTV Ziņu dienesta korespondente) Scientists are carrying out a major study to find out how many people in Latvia have had Covid-19 and got immunity against it, Latvian Television reported January 9.
Sampling for antibody tests should be completed in the coming weeks before mass vaccination starts. So scientists call on GPs and residents to get involved in the study.
Antibodies to SARS-COV-2 indicate that the person has had Covid-19. Many don t know that they are infected, because the disease can manifest itself without symptoms. Researchers therefore want to find out the true extent of the virus and how immune the Latvian population is.
