TORONTO The latest attempt to draw conclusions about the spread of COVID-19 in Canada by analyzing blood donations suggests that racialized populations, young adults and residents of lower-income neighbourhoods are among the hardest-hit by the disease. The federal government s COVID-19 Immunity Task Force (CITF) has been monitoring the presence of COVID-19 antibodies in blood donated to Canadian Blood Services and Héma-Québec since early in the pandemic, in an attempt to find clues as to how far the novel coronavirus has spread across the country.
