    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    ETH cohort

    employees or students at ETH Zurich, Switzerland

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. seroprevalence as well as the titer of serum antibodies (IgM, IgG and IgA) targeting SARS-CoV-2 antigens [12 months]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. the property of peripheral blood mononuclear cells before and after an infection with SARS-CoV-2 as opposed to other pathogens [12 months]
