  • Epidemiology of SARS-Cov2 in Qatar's Primary Care Population
    Syed et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2021) 21:645 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-021-06251-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Epidemiology of SARS-CoV2 in Qatar’s primary care population aged 10 years and above Mohamed Ahmed Syed1* , Ahmed Sameer Al Nuaimi1, Hamda Abdulla A/Qotba1, Gheyath K.

Investing in characterising the SARS-CoV2 will help plan and improve the response to the pandemic. Furthermore, it will help identify the most efficient ways of managing the pandemic, avoiding public health policies and interventions that may be unduly restrictive of normal activity or unnecessarily costly. This paper describes the design and reports findings of a population based epidemiological study undertaken to characterise SARS-CoV2 in Qatar using limited resources in a timely manner. Methods: Asymptomatic individuals ≥10 years registered with Qatar’s publicly funded primary health provider were eligible. A stratified random sampling technique was utilized to identify the study sample. Participants were invited to an appointment where they completed a questionnaire and provided samples for polymerase chain reaction and Immunoglobulin M and G immunoassay tests.
