Topic: Clinical Characteristics and Health Care Setting
- [Pre-print, not peer reviewed] A large serosurveillance study (n=10,019) of asymptomatic healthcare workers across Oregon found 2.5% (n=253) had antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. The highest seroprevalence was found among those with a job type of housekeeper (8%). Comparing self-reported swab PCR testing with serology results showed only modest agreement (K=0.47).
