Brief summary

All health care workers at the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care at UMC Ljubljana will be tested for SARS-CoV2 with nasal swab test and blood withdrawal for SARS-CoV2 antibodies. At the same time a questionnaire with epidemiological anamnesis, risky contacts and the use of personal protective equipment will be fulfilled.

Detailed description

Health care workers at the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care at UMC Ljubljana are working with COVID-19 patients in intensive care units, operating theaters, wards and emergency department. In the care of those patients different workgroups are involved: anesthesiologists, anesthesia and ICU nurses and respiratory therapeuts.There is insufficient data on the seroprevalence in different workgroups, different areas of the hospital, insufficient data on connection between SARS-CoV2 nasal swabs and antibodies and the rate of asymptomatic infections. 300 hundred HCW will be tested for SARS-CoV2 with nasal swab test and blood withdrawal for SARS-CoV2 antibodies. At the same time a questionnaire with epidemiological anamnesis, risky contacts and the use of personal protective equipment will be filled.
