SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence Among Healthcare Workers: Retrospective Analysis of the Data From A University Hospital in Turkey

In conclusion, the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 was determined as 7.4% among healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital with high patient admissions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering that SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence was announced as 0.81% in the press release made by the Ministry of Health of Turkey in July 2020, it is seen that the rate of seroprevalence among health care workers is significantly larger than the community. Determination of the seroprevalence in the general population and large-scale studies are needed for risk assessment in healthcare professionals.PMID:33882653 | DOI:10.5578/mb.20219908
