Brief Summary in Scientific Language

The primary objective of this study is to estimate the age-group specific prevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 among the general population of Heidelberg and the Rhein-Neckar region. In total 1500 persons from five age-groups will be randomly selected from the population registers. Study participants will be tested for antibodies at three different time points: one study visit will take place during the current epidemic, one post-epidemic and one between these two timepoints. A questionnaire will be administered at each study visit to collect information about symptoms and potential risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Interventions/Observational Groups

  •   Study participants will be asked to come to the clinic three times or alternatively may be visited at home by study personnel. At each visit, a blood sample will be collected and a questionnaire administered to collect information on previous COVID-19 diagnosis, symptoms, drug intake, risk factors and protective measures. The blood sample will be tested for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. The visits will take place at the following time points: 1) during the current epidemic, 2) 4-6 months after the enrollment visit, 3) >9 months after the enrollment visit.

Primary Outcome

Age-group specific prevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 among the general population of Heidelberg and the Rhein-Neckar region.

end of 1:1-Block primary endpoint
start of 1:1-Block secondary endpoint

Secondary Outcome

1) Age-group specific cumulative incidence during the epidemic compared to the end of the epidemic (post-epidemic) or according to local COVID-19 epidemiology.
2) Association of risk factors / protective measures recorded on the questionnaire and evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection (SARS-CoV-2 antibodies).
3) Proportion of asymptomatic / sub-clinical SARS-CoV-2 infections.
