Declarations
:
: All methods of this study were carried out in accordance with the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (UNCST) guidelines, the body that regulates research in Uganda. It was approved by the Uganda Virus Research Institute’s Research Ethics Committee (Ref. GC/127/20/08/785), registered, and cleared by the UNCST (registration number HS878ES). Written informed consent was obtained from participants before blood specimens and other data were collected. Also, only archived plasma specimens (collected prior to confirmation of the first COVID-19 case) from Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS) participants that had provided prior written informed consent for use of their blood specimens in future studies were retrieved to assess prior SARS-CoV-2 exposure in Uganda. All participants were aged 18 years and above. No informed consent from ‘Legally authorized representatives/parents’ of minors below 16 years of age was thus required.
