About
This is a prospective longitudinal census study conducted at a single center (DCI Inc., Henry Avenue, Philadelphia). The purpose of this study is to gain information about COVID-19 infection and antibody response in an in-center dialysis population. The investigators hypothesize that screening and surveillance for COVID-19 positive test (viral infection) and antibodies response to infection (potential immunity) in a dialysis center population within a high-prevalence region can provide foundational information to guide approaches toward prevention of COVID-19 related illness in a susceptible population. Participants will be given a questionnaire initially and monthly over the study period to find out whether they have had COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, or symptoms. A nasopharyngeal swab test for COVID-19 infection and a blood sample for COVID-19 antibody will be collected monthly for the study period.
