Listen to this podcast with Professor Andrew Hayward, Director of the UCL Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care, and Chief Investigator of the Virus Watch study, talk about how this research will help us understand the spread of the virus.

Thousands of people across the country will be tested for COVID-19 as part of two new Government-funded studies led by UCL and UCLH to see how the coronavirus spreads among communities and NHS workers.

Read the full announcement about our study getting funded here on the UCL media website.
