SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among 7950 healthcare workers in the Region of Southern Denmark
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) surged as an ongoing worldwide pandemic throughout 2020 (Park et al., 2020; Siordia, 2020). The first Danish cases were reported in late February 2020, and the initial spread of infection most likely originated from ski tourists returning from Northern Italy and Austria (Madsen et al., 2021). The first epidemic wave in Denmark peaked in late March and early April, with 9.2 patients admitted to hospital per 100 000 population (Madsen et al., 2021; Statens Serum Institut 2021).Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibody among healthcare workers in a university hospital in Mallorca, Spain, during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic
COVID-19 (coronavirus disease, 2019) is a novel viral disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China (Zhu et al., 2020). Due to its alarming spread, disease severity, number of affected countries, and number of deaths, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on 11th March 2020 (World Health Organization, 2020). To date (15th February 2021), there have been more than 106 million confirmed cases and more than two million deaths worldwide (European Centre for Disease Prevention and control, 2020).
