• [pre-print, not peer reviewed] Mansour et al. found that 33% of 285 healthcare workers at a tertiary academic hospital in New York City tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies. These findings highlight that inpatient and ambulatory frontline staff had high levels of exposure to SARS-CoV-2, most of whom were working in the weeks preceding immunological testing.
