Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people who have recovered from COVID-19 and those who have never had it. Participants will provide samples and complete surveys over two years to help understand how the virus behaves after recovery.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

I have been diagnosed with COVID-19 through lab testing or compatible symptoms
I have never tested positive for COVID-19
I am at least 7 years old
I can provide semen or breast milk if I am 18 years old or older
You may not be able to join if
I am under 7 years old
I have other health conditions that could affect the study results

The 2019-2020 COVID-19 pandemic is the largest outbreak in recent history. It is not known how long after someone gets sick with COVID-19 and recovers that they can still infect other people. It is also not known how quickly people make antibodies against the virus, which help clear infection from the body.

The 2019-2020 COVID-19 pandemic is the largest outbreak in recent history. It is not known how long after someone gets sick with COVID-19 and recovers that they can still infect other people. It is also not known how quickly people make antibodies against the virus, which help clear infection from the body. The investigators will enroll 300 people who had COVID-19 based on lab testing or confirmed exposure to participate. An additional 25 participants who have never tested positive for COVID and have not had the vaccine will be enrolled as negative controls. Participants will complete a survey at enrollment. The investigators will also collect blood, nose swab, saliva, stool, semen, and breast milk to test for the virus. The investigators will ask participants to complete a survey and give specimens up to 12 times over 24 months. This information will be used to study how long the virus can live in different parts of the body, antibody development, and post-infectious complications. The investigators hope that this information will allow medical and public health providers to make recommendations to better care for patients in the convalescent phase of COVID-19 infection.
