The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in pandemic levels and a global challenge in diagnosing infection. Diagnosing infection, defining recovery and immunity has been challenging. Health care providers in particular are very interested in knowing their status as they are highly exposed, and if infectious, can potentially transmit infection nosocomially (in the healthcare workplace setting) and to their household. In addition to understanding their exposure risk, infectious period, and immunity status, health care workers are reporting high levels of psychosocial distress including anxiety and burnout. The investigators aim to assess the baseline and cumulative seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among health care workers using both quantitative and qualitative serological assays; describe psychosocial well-being and coping strategies among health workers in their institutional settings and describe how knowledge of one's serostatus affect psychosocial well-being, and coping strategies. Findings from this study will inform; 1) use of serological assays and testing algorithms, and 2) approaches to manage psychosocial stress for healthcare workers.
