Wow - extremely high SARS-CoV-2 PCR and seropositivity in healthcare workers in London followed prospectively. Ongoing surveillance for evidence of reinfection in this group may help answer questions about durability of immunity. @ViralHoolahoop

Only 1/5 healthcare workers had symptoms in this well-structured London study.
Why aren't we systematically screening HCW again?

A thread about this important study, to which I am proud to have contributed. Leaders @ViralHoolahoop @eleni_nastouli at @uclh and @Crick Covid Consortium. Implications for policy and for understanding this virus. Preliminary results: high seroprevalence in patient facing HCWs.
Headline: 43.5% of our high-risk, front-line healthcare worker cohort @SAFERuclh had acquired SARS-CoV-2 (serology+/-PCR pos) by early May 2020.

Nearly half of front line workers at our hospital had evidence of #SARS_CoV_2 #Covid_19 by PCR or serology by May.
Important to note 25% already had it before UK lockdown in late March.
I managed to be in the group who hasn't had it yet.Not sure if I think that's good or bad🤔

During the first month and peak of the epidemic in London 21% of HCWs were PCR positive of which only 19% had symptoms that met the current case definition. 45.3% had or developed SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
