The Specchio-COVID19 online platform allows, via regular online questionnaires, a long term follow-up of the participants in the different seroprevalence surveys conducted by the Population Epidemiology Unit of the University Hospitals of Geneva and the University of Geneva.
The objectives of the study are :
- To estimate the serological and immunological status of the population of the Canton of Geneva.
- The study of the long-term health, economic and social impact of the pandemic.
Each week, participants can report the possible appearance of new symptoms suggestive of an SARS-CoV-2 infection. Each month, participants complete a questionnaire on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on various aspects such as their general and mental health; their professional, economic and social situation; and their attitudes of precaution in the face of the risk of contagion.
Depending on the evolution of scientific knowledge, a new serological test (or repeated serological tests) may be offered to participants depending on the appearance of symptoms suggestive of an SARS-CoV-2 infection, their socio-demographic profile (e.g. their age) or clinical profile, or by random draw.
The project has received, among others, the support of the Fondation Privée des HUG.
