Longitudinal analysis showed that seroprevalence for all immunoglobins declined over time, from overall positivity of 17% to 7% within 3 months. Seroprevalence was similar between household contacts of HCW (n=178 contacts of 137 HCW) and the general population, but individuals who were living with a seropositive HCW were 7-times as likely to be seropositive themselves compared to those living with a non-seropositive HCW. Accounting for waning seropositivity, the study estimates that the proportion of those living with a seropositive HCW who were themselves seropositive could have been as high as 44% at the height of the first wave.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Craxford et al.
