Yes, the volunteer testing in The Villages was for UF Health Research
So my questions about the survey and followup on those testing negative here in The Villages is important.
Please read the article about the RESEARCH STUDY
UF Health working with The Villages(R) and state officials to rapidly ramp up coronavirus testing | UF Health, University of Florida Health
"If they are concerned yet do not have symptoms nor meet standard clinical testing criteria,
they will have the opportunity to sign up for a UF research study that enables them to receive testing as part of an epidemiological protocol known as community surveillance. The purpose of the study is to assess the degree of asymptomatic viral shedding at the onset of a COVID-19 outbreak. This is a valuable public health activity to identify people with early disease or asymptomatic shedding of virus.
