EPI-COVID-19: Household Transmission Investigation Study for COVID-19 in Tropical Regions
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is a interventional study that present minimal risks and constraints to evaluate the presence of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) or antibodies among individuals living in households where there is a confirmed coronavirus case in order to provide useful information on the proportion of symptomatic forms and the extent of the virus transmission in tropical regions such as French Guiana, Guadeloupe and New-Caledonia.

Detailed Description
This study is a interventional study that present minimal risks and constraints to evaluate the presence of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) or antibodies among individuals living in households where there is a confirmed coronavirus case in order to provide useful information on the proportion of symptomatic forms and the extent of the virus transmission in tropical regions such as French Guiana, Guadeloupe and New-Caledonia.
Subjects will be assessed (questionnaires and sampling) in their homes. Subjects will be asked to attend study visits at days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 60, 90, 180 and 360.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the rate of intra-household secondary transmission of the virus.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Evaluation of the extent of the virus transmission within households [2 years]
The extent of the virus transmission within households will be assessed by evaluating the rate of intra-household secondary transmission of the virus
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Characterization of the secondary cases [2 years]
The characterization of the secondary cases will be assessed by evaluating the proportion of asymptomatic forms within the household
- Characterization of the secondary cases [2 years]
The characterization of the secondary cases will be assessed by characterizing the risk factors for coronavirus infection.
- In New-Caledonia, evaluation of the extent of the virus transmission within contact persons [2 years]
The extent of the virus transmission within contact persons will be assessed by evaluating the rate of extended-contact secondary transmission of the virus

or Close contact in New-Caledonia: any individual who was in contact with a primary case, in his/her family/living environment, work/school, friends/leisure or means of transport, when the primary case was symptomatic or presymptomatic,
-
Affiliated or beneficiary of a social security system
-
Informed consent prior to initiation of any study procedures from subject (or legally authorized representative)
-
State of health compatible with a blood sample as defined in the protocol.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Inability to consent
-
Person under guardianship or curatorship
-
Known pathology or a health problem contraindicated with the collect of blood sample.
