Testing for SARS-CoV-2 RNA was performed with real-time RT-PCR using throat and nose swab samples of HCWs from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUHNFT) and their symptomatic household contacts. In the HCW symptomatic and HCW symptomatic household contact screening arms combined (reflecting all individuals with self-reported symptoms at the time of testing), 13/771 (1.7%) tests were positive, which was significantly lower than 30/221 (13%) in the original study period (Fisher's exact test p<0.0001). In particular, during the last 2 weeks of the study period (11th to 24th May 2020), we identified only four positive SARS-CoV-2 samples from 2016 tests performed, two from the HCW asymptomatic and two from the HCW symptomatic/symptomatic household contact arms. ./cache/cord-336837-rerp1g1w.txt ./txt/cord-336837-rerp1g1w.txt
