Serology results for Covid-19

Simon Thornley made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Simon Thornley to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Simon Thornley

Dear Ministry of Health,

There have been several media stories of serology testing of New Zealanders starting in New Zealand.

Here is one for example: https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/...

I also hear that ESR is undertaking serology testing.

I believe it is essential that New Zealanders are informed of these results. Please provide aggregated results of serology tests for Covid-19 by age, gender, ethnicity and region. I would also like to know how individuals came to be sampled. As New Zealand makes decisions about the border, this information will be very important to guide decision making. If there has been any testing of cell mediated responses to Covid-19, I would like to know the results of this testing also.

Yours faithfully,

Dr Simon Thornley
Epidemiologist.
