Brief summary

COVID-19 is a new emerging disease caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, with no specific therapeutic options. Since the end of February 2020, the Strasbourg University Hospital (HUS) had faced a sudden increase of patients with COVID-19 resulted from a SARS-CoV-2 superspreading event (religious meeting). Infected individuals went to regional hospitals, and this led to a cluster of infected healthcare workers at the Strasbourg University Hospitals from the first week of March. To date, several hundred Strasbourg hospital workers have presented a SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by the RT-PCR test from a nasopharyngeal sample. Most of them developed a mild form of COVID-19. It is important to understand how far the infection has spread in the hospital staff, and to which extent the individuals who have been infected develop antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTBlood sample for serological test

Serology tests: * By LFA-ICT: BIOSYNEX COVID-19 BSS reference SW40005, BIOSYNEX SWISS SA, Fribourg, Switzerland * ELISA: EDI™ Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 ELISA IgG Kit, Epitope Diagnostics, Inc., San Diego, USA Confirmation test by seroneutralization tests developed at the Strasbourg Virology laboratory on whole virus (analyzes performed in a biosafety level 3 laboratory) and by the viral pseudoparticles system, will be performed.
