SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell immunity in cases of COVID-19 and SARS, and uninfected controls (mid 2020)

 

Abstract

Memory T cells induced by previous pathogens can shape susceptibility to, and the clinical severity of, subsequent infections1. Little is known about the presence in humans of pre-existing memory T cells that have the potential to recognize severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Here we studied T cell responses against the structural (nucleocapsid (N) protein) and non-structural (NSP7 and NSP13 of ORF1) regions of SARS-CoV-2 in individuals convalescing from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (n = 36). In all of these individuals, we found CD4 and CD8 T cells that recognized multiple regions of the N protein. Next, we showed that patients (n = 23) who recovered from SARS (the disease associated with SARS-CoV infection) possess long-lasting memory T cells that are reactive to the N protein of SARS-CoV17 yearsafter the outbreak of SARS in 2003; these T cells displayed robust cross-reactivity to the N protein of SARS-CoV-2.

Queensland quarantine facility to be built by mid-2022

 

The Queensland government has given the federal government the green light to move forward with the construction of its proposed quarantine facility at Pinkenba.

 

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk signed a memorandum of understanding with the commonwealth on Friday.

 

Deputy Premier Steven Miles said that once the facility has been built, the Queensland government would provide it with services.

 

“The Queensland government continues to work collaboratively with the Commonwealth to further the Federal Government’s proposal for a quarantine facility at the Damascus Barracks,” he said on Monday.

 

“Following countless breaches from the nation’s hotel quarantine system it’s clear there is an urgent need for more fit-for-purpose quarantine facilities throughout Australia. With NSW and Victoria in lockdown, we cannot afford more leaks from hotel quarantine.”

 

The proposed facility, which would be located on the 30-hectare Damascus Barracks in Pinkenba, would house 1000 beds. Located near Brisbane Airport, the facility would be constructed by mid-2022.

 

Miles noted that the site was selected by the commonwealth Department of Finance based on its size, its proximity to an international airport and hospitals, and because it is commonwealth-owned. He said the state government was also in support of a regional quarantine facility at Wellcamp airport, near Toowoomba, in order to reduce the use of hotel quarantine.

 

“Until all Australians have been offered a vaccination, quarantine facilities will remain Australia’s frontline in preventing deadly new strains of COVID-19 from entering our community,” Miles said.

1000 beds?

Good luck with that amount.
