Overview
Brief Summary
The medical and paramedical staff of the front-line services are potentially exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, despite the application of standard protective measures, it is possible that a certain number of these personnel have already contracted SARS-CoV-2, including in its asymptomatic form. Serological testing in this context would be useful for deploying immune healthcare workers as to limit the risk of viral infection and transmission. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to prove that the serological response entails the production of neutralizing antibodies.
