Coronovirus Screening Clinic Participants
Participants have SARS-CoV-2 IgG, IgA and IgM antibody serum sample analysed approximately 14 days after developing Coronavirus symptoms. Upon completion of blood sampling, no further follow up is required. Data to be collected for the study will include general patient demographics, medical history, baseline SARS-CoV-2 NAT pathology results, SARS-CoV-2 Risk assessment and symptom assessment.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 323421 0
To determine proportion of people with nucleic acid test (NAT) negative nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 (nasopharyngeal NAT) while exhibiting symptoms consistent with COVID-19 disease who then develop SARS-CoV-2 antibody seroconversion prior to, and during, the development of widespread community transmission.
Timepoint [1] 323421 0
Approximately 14 to 28 days after developing Coronavirus symptoms
Secondary outcome [1] 381884 0
To collect epidemiological and symptom data to determine if there are potential prognostic and diagnostic variables. There may be common trends with regard to transmission and presentation of the virus that have not been previously identified. Data to be collected for the study will include general patient demographics, medical history, SARS-CoV-2 NAT pathology results, SARS-CoV-2 Risk assessment and symptom assessment.
Timepoint [1] 381884 0
Measured over duration of trial - approximately 12 months from last patient registered
