An additional group of healthcare workers who developed symptoms related to Covid-19, but did not have a positive RT-PCR result, was included in the surveillance program (based on clinical diagnostic criteria). Based on the results reported in Table 2 , and sensitivity of LFIA test equal to 75.2%, we estimated that 73.4% of HCWs with Covid-19 related symptoms, who were not tested with RT-PCR, were not infected with SARS-CoV-2. ./cache/cord-317000-bfc51e0m.txt ./txt/cord-317000-bfc51e0m.txt
