Study Arms (2)
Sub-population A Infected Cases
Symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infected adults or adults meeting the ILI case definition (hospitalized and non-hospitalized)
Sub-population B Contacts
Asymptomatic adult contacts of positive cases, defined as indoor exposure to the symptomatic case or cases within 6 feet (2 meters) for greater than or equal to 15 minutes over a 24-hour period without the use of personal protective equipment
Eligibility Criteria
Population A. Infected Cases: Symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infected adults or Adults meeting the ILI case definition Population B. Contacts: Asymptomatic adult contacts of positive cases, defined as indoor exposure to they symptomatic case or cases within 6 feet (2 meters) for greater than or equal to fifteen minutes over a 24-hour period without the use of personal protective equipment
You may qualify if:

- Population B: Adult contacts of SARS-CoV-2 or ILI infected individuals
- Symptoms attributed to COVID-19 or ILI as assessed by a medical provider
- Positive molecular or antigen test for SARS-CoV-2 from any upper respiratory specimen within 90 days prior to enrollment
- SARS-CoV-2 vaccination within 90 days prior to enrollment EXCEPT if severely immunocompromised or a known vaccine non-responder
- Severely immunocompromised or a known vaccine non-responder defined as: solid organ or stem cell recipient, B cell leukemia, receiving B cell depletion therapy (e.g., rituximab), agammaglobulinemia, or negative serology ≥ 2 weeks after vaccination with two doses of a vaccine
- Positive PCR test for acute respiratory infection including but not limited to influenza, RSV, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, rhinovirus, metapneumovirus, Bordatella Pertussis, Chlamydia Pneumonia, coronavirus (other than SARS-CoV-2), mycoplasma within 7 days of enrollment
- Hospital admission at the time of enrollment
- Hospitalization will be defined as requiring medical care not available in an outpatient setting for greater than 24 hours.
- For Both populations:
- Absence of informed consent
- Individuals who the study investigators believe are unable to comply with the requirements of the study
