Canada is sending out 48,000 at home Blood Tests for a new Covid-19 Survey.
The survey includes an electronic questionnaire and an at-home finger-prick blood test. Participants have been selected at random and if they choose to do it, you just send it back to Statistics Canada.
Here’s why they are doing the Survey:
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our lives in many ways. In an attempt to better understand how COVID-19 has affected the health of Canadians, Statistics Canada, in partnership with Health Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada and the COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, has created the Canadian COVID-19 Antibody and Health Survey (CCAHS). While this is a voluntary survey, your participation is important as your contribution will play an important part in understanding past infections by measuring the prevalence of COVID-19 antibodies amongst Canadians, including those who have never had symptoms.
It’s completely up to you if you want to take part.
The test is for all Canadians, even those who have never tested positive for COVID-19.
So if you receive a blood test, it’s completely up to you, if you’d like to take part. You can find out more information HERE!
