If the last resident or professional has had the disease for more than 15 days, the residence will be excluded from the study. Once the residence was included (because the presence of residents and / or workers exposed to COVID19 has been confirmed less than 15 days ago), the decision to enter the study of each participating subject will be made only by confirmation by baseline RT-PCR, in accordance with the SEIMC recommendations on the use of antibody detection tests in nursing homes21. In addition, until the PCR is available, the decision to enter the study will be delayed.
