Summary

This study is designed to compare the efficacy of detection of COVID-19 infection using the serology test in blood sample and the PCR-based test in the nasopharyngeal (NP) and sputum sample. Furthermore, it aims to evaluate the temporal trend of appearance of IgM and IgG in blood.

Detailed description

The investigators hypothesize that viral-RNA test using sputum will be equally efficient as the test performed in NP swab. Moreover, the serology test and the PCR-based test will be comparable in efficacy for detection of infection
