COVID Evaluation of Risk for Emergency Departments (COVERED) Project

This CDC sponsored surveillance project is designed to assess risk exposures and COVID-19 infections among working emergency department personnel. The project will require participants to provide ongoing information on risk exposures, and will collect additional information on institutional and community risks. These risk assessments will be combined with assessment of disease status, as determined by serologic testing at two-week intervals. The goal of the project is to identify the most important and potentially correctable risk factors that emergency department personnel face while dealing in with the coronavirus pandemic.
