SAMPLES_WITH_DNA
Description:
Subjects will provide self-collected nasal and saliva samples up to daily during the study period. These samples will be used to test for SARS-CoV-2, which will help to establish an estimate of the asymptomatic carrier frequency in the health care worker population. Subjects can also opt-in to providing blood samples at up to three time points within a year of enrollment, with a goal of determining baseline and changes in antibody titers to SARS-CoV-2, as well as obtaining specimens for the measurement of other immunologic parameters and biomarkers - including immune cell profiling and DNA/RNA-seq analysis. Subjects that receive a diagnosis of COVID-19 while on-study may provide additional nasal swabs, saliva, and/or blood specimens up to 1 year after study completion.
