The study was facilitated by the Government of Ghana through the Ghana Health Service. ARTIC donated the primers used for the study. All data storage and analyses were performed on Zuputo®, the University of Ghana’s high-performance computing cluster. We acknowledge the Community and Public engagement members; Kyerewaa A. Boateng and Simon Donkor, Andrew M. Nantogmah and the entire WACCBIP and UHAS COVID-19 Teams. The study was funded by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation (2021 HTH 006), an Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) grant (ARIACOV), African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) Vaccine Development Hubs grant with funds from Open Society Foundation, a Wellcome/African Academy of Sciences Developing Excellence in Leadership Training and Science (DELTAS) grant (DEL-15-007 and 107755/Z/15/Z: G.A.A.); National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) (17.63.91) grants using UK aid from the UK Government for a global health research group for Genomic surveillance of malaria in West Africa (Wellcome Sanger Institute, UK) and global research unit for Tackling Infections to Benefit Africa (TIBA partnership, University of Edinburgh); and the World Bank African Centres of Excellence Impact grant (WACCBIP-NCDs: G.A.A.). C.M.M. and D.S.Y.A. are supported by WACCBIP DELTAS PhD fellowships, while P.Q., and Y.B. are supported by a Crick African Network Career Accelerator fellowship. The University of Health and Allied Sciences, COVID-19 Testing and Research Centre was supported by China Novartis Institutes of Biomedical Research (CNIBR-SCD: K.O.D.) and the Grand Challenges Africa programme grant GCA/AMR/rnd2/138: K.O.D.).
