Hidden outbreak: scientists test homeless shelters for COVID-19

NCT ID NCT04470648

Summary

This study aimed to understand how widespread COVID-19 infections were among homeless people and staff in three Paris shelters after outbreaks occurred there. Researchers tested 179 residents and workers for antibodies to see who had been infected, especially since many might not have shown symptoms. The goal was to gather crucial data on how the virus spreads in crowded, vulnerable living situations where social distancing is difficult.
