Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
I. Estimate the sero-prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the general population II. Estimate the 4 monthly incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection based on serial sero-surveys III. Estimate cumulative sero-conversion of SARS-CoV-2 infection over one year period IV. Estimate the sero-prevalence and annual sero conversion of Dengue and Chikungunya in a sub sample of the study Timepoint: serosurvey will be done once in 3 months for a period of one year

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
I. Monitor the trend of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the general population II. Determine the prevalence and incidence of SARS CoV2 sero-positivity among the members of the households with at least one seropositive individual (clustering of infection at household level)Determine the risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection III. Determine the duration of persistence of antibodies in individuals tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection Timepoint: serosurvey will be done once in 3 months for a period of one year
