Genomic Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Ghana: Leveraging an Integrated National Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 Platform

2022-08-22

Abstract excerpt

Background: Existing surveillance networks provide a possible platform to integrate SARS-CoV-2 and influenza surveillance in Africa and other settings.<br><br>Methods: We utilised the Ghana Influenza Surveillance network to undertake integrated influenza and SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in Ghana. Samples from patients with influenza like illness and severe acute respiratory illness were tested for SARS-CoV-2 and influe...
