Health care workers (HCW) are a high-risk population to acquire SARS-CoV-2
infection from patients or other fellow HCW. This study aims at estimating the
seroprevalence against SARS-CoV-2 in a random sample of HCW from a large hospital
in Spain. Of the 578 participants recruited from 28 March to 9 April 2020, 54
(9.3%, 95% CI: 7.1-12.0) were seropositive for IgM and/or IgG and/or IgA against
SARS-CoV-2. The cumulative prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection (presence of
antibodies or past or current positive rRT-PCR) was 11.2% (65/578, 95% CI:
8.8-14.1). Among those with evidence of past or current infection, 40.0% (26/65)
had not been previously diagnosed with COVID-19. Here we report a relatively low
seroprevalence of antibodies among HCW at the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic in
Spain. A large proportion of HCW with past or present infection had not been
previously diagnosed with COVID-19, which calls for active periodic rRT-PCR
testing in hospital settings.
