We undertook a study among the residents of North Dunedin student flats, to (i) estimate the prevalence of COVID-19 between the start of Flat Orientation Week (Flo-Week) and the end of Semester 1, (ii) investigate the potential under-reporting of positive COVID-19 test results to the University, (iii) investigate the potential under-recording of positive RAT results in My Covid Record, and (iv) explore the COVID-19 related experiences of students during the above period.
