Topic: COVID-19: Serology and Return to Work

Description: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every company in the U.S. and there are many unanswered occupational health questions related to monitoring the COVID-19 health status of workers in order to guide return to work decisions. Leaders of several countries have suggested that serologic tests can identify workers who are immune to COVID-19 and would be a "passport to work." There is intense activity at universities and companies to develop serology tests for COVID-19 for widespread use. Unfortunately, many of the early released tests have poor sensitivity and specificity characteristics.

The presenters will discuss basic serology issues, the pattern of serologic changes over time during the 2003 SARS epidemic, the quality of currently available serologic tests for COVID-19, and the pattern of serologic test results among health care workers in The Netherlands and Italy. The presentations will be followed by live, moderated Q&A.
