In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, many research teams around the world focused on creating antibody tests to diagnose individuals who had SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Surprisingly, some researchers detected low levels of antibodies in many individuals who had never been exposed to the virus.
Researchers at BC Children’s Hospital, the University of British Columbia and Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) are teaming up with the Vancouver School District to better understand COVID-19 transmission in Vancouver schools.
Dr. Soren Gantt, a pediatric infectious disease specialist and director of clinical research at BC Children’s Hospital and associate professor in the faculty of medicine at the University of British Columbia, talks about the prevalence of cCMV, how it’s detected and what can be done to avoid transmission.
