Our study was designed specifically to evaluate the use of point-ofcare assays for frontline health-care workers directly involved in the clinical care of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection; therefore, it was not possible to evaluate any difference in detection of SARS-CoV-2 IgG in young or older people. 4 An evaluation of the potential effect of immunodeficiency on assay performance was beyond the scope of our study; however, we strongly agree that this is an important issue for future studies where consideration can be given to testing in different populations.
