Summary

This is a longitudinal study in which participants that have been confirmed by a National Health Service (NHS) swab test as COVID-19 positive will be asked to provide faecal and saliva samples, and complete short health/lifestyle questionnaires at the time of sampling (referred to as a sample set). The number of sample sets collected from any participant will be dependent on how long the SARS-CoV-2 virus persists within the stool. The investigators aim to collect a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 sample sets, and will target all COVID-19-positive subjects, with the exception of those severally ill (e.g. in the intensive care unit (ICU)). The investigators aim to recruit a minimum of 100 and up to 200 participants. To obtain the desired numbers, it may be necessary to continue recruitment during any further United Kingdom (UK) COVID-19 infection peaks.
