Study Arms (2)
The asymptomatic medical staff cohort
The cohort of asymptomatic / paucisymptomatic operators will include the cohort of operators who will test positive in the serological analysis. From the entire population of hospital workers (over 3000), three controls will be identified for each operator who tested positive for the serological test that were analyzed on the same day and were negative for the serological test.
The symptomatic medical staff cohort
The cohort of symptomatic hospital workers who tested positive for the swab includes 250 operators.
Interventions
The study consists of an investigation by means of a prospective observational study with the aim of assess the prevalence of test positivity (swab or serological examination) ti covid-19 in relation to the duties and related occupational risk. It is used CLIA method test designed to recognize IgG antibodies directed against the S1 and S2 domains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus "spike" protein, selected for their ability to provide specificity for SARS-CoV-2 compared to other Coronaviruses .
Eligibility Criteria
The study population consists of: 1. Hospital workers employed by the ASST of Monza (principals of Monza and Desio) who, in the presence of symptoms suggestive of SARS-CoV-2 infection or asymptomatic but positive on the surveillance check list, carried out nasopharyngeal swabs and tested positive. The surveillance provided by the Occupational Medicine service of the ASST of Monza involves the execution of a double negative nasopharyngeal swab before readmission to work. This cohort of operators (over 250 at ASST of Monza) will be offered the possibility of performing the serological test on a voluntary basis; 2. Asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic hospital workers employed by the ASST of Monza (garrisons of Monza and Desio) as indicated by the DG Welfare of the Lombardy region.
You may qualify if:
- Hospital staff on active duty;
- Age greater than or equal to 18 years;
You may not qualify if:
- Failure to consent to serological screening or failure to consent to study participation (there are two different consent)
