Data Access Process
The Biobanque québécoise de la COVID-19 (BQC19) reminds the scientific community that the process of accessing the BQC19 data is carried out continuously throughout the year, and provides access to currently available data.
The access process has been updated and the currently available data, as well as those to come, are announced on the BQC19 website. Currently, these correspond to clinical data on more than 2,500 BQC19 participants (having a positive or negative [control] screening test [control] for SARS-CoV-2). The recruited participants are from two cohorts, they are either hospitalized participants or participants from outpatient clinics. The BQC19 can currently share genome sequencing data on some of the participants. The access process will be extended to additional analytical data as it becomes available.
