The
Get Back Massachusetts COVID-19 Testing Project is a collaboration to get an accurate count of individuals infected with COVID-19 over time. The Get Back Mass project will survey and test all randomly selected participants, including those who do not have symptoms. The project will use two home-collected tests: one to test for current COVID-19 infection; and one to test for past COVID-19 infection or vaccination (antibody test). The results will improve our understanding of how COVID-19 has spread across Massachusetts and which communities and populations are most affected. The project aims to enroll about 500 Massachusetts residents per month and will run for about 14-months.
