Outcome  TimePoints 
Primary objectives
I. Estimate the sero-prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the general population
II. Estimate the 4 monthly incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection based on serial sero-surveys
III. Estimate cumulative sero-conversion of SARS-CoV-2 infection over one year period
IV. Estimate the sero-prevalence and annual sero conversion of Dengue and Chikungunya in a sub sample of the study 
Sero-prevalence of COVID will be assessed at baseline, 4 months, 8 months and 12 months 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Secondary objectives
I. Monitor the trend of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the general population
II. Determine the prevalence and incidence of SARS CoV2 sero-positivity among the members of the households with at least one seropositive individual (clustering of infection at household level) Determine the risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection
III. Determine the duration of persistence of antibodies in individuals tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection
 
Trend of infection and duration of persistence of antibodies will be monitored by the serial sero-surveys at 0,4,8 and 12 months.
Incidence of symptomatic infections will be assessed via fortnightly phone calls.

Brief Summary  

As part of the clinical trial network being set up by National Biopharma Mission (NBM)- Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), four existing demographc surveillance sites (also referred to as Demographic Health Surveillance sites-DHS)/Health and Demographic Surveillance Sites-HDSS) /Demographic, Developmental and Environmental Surveillance Sites-DDESS) were selected to study epidemiology of Dengue & Chikungunya in different age-groups. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, these sites with established community presence and experience of maintaining population cohorts is being leveraged to fill knowledge gaps related to the actual burden of COVID disease in the community as well as to improve understanding of the community transmission dynamics. A fifth site from Pune district of Maharashtra was added for COVID specific research objectives to ensure representation from the Western part of the country.

Study sites are as following;

A. Society for Health Allied Research Education India (SHARE INDIA), Medchal, Telangana

B. Christian Medical College, Vellore

C. ICMR-National Institute of Epidemiology- Model Rural Health Research Unit, Tirunelveli 

D. SOMAARTH-DDESS, The INCLEN Trust International, Palwal, Haryana

E. Vadu HDSS, KEM Hospital Research Centre (KEMHRC), Pune

It is proposed to establish community-based sentinel sero-surveillance to monitor the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection in selected demographic health surveillance sites in India. The study will be conducted in both urban and rural communities. Five sites shall follow same protocol under supervision of Principal Investigator at each site. Overall, 25,000 participants will be enrolled with each site enrolling 5000 participants. Serials sero survey will be done at 4 month intervals for SARS-COV2 (Month 0,4,8,12). Additionally, a serial sero survey will be done at 12 month interval for Dengue and chikungunya (month 0& 12) in a subset of 1500 sample.

Below mentioned is the study design;

Prospective follow up of a cohort of individuals within specified geographical locations. The key groups of activities entailed in follow up would be

A. Serial sero-surveys at 4 monthly intervals for SARS-CoV2 (Month 0,4,8,12)

B. Serial sero-survey at 12 month interval for Dengue and Chikungunya (months 0 & 12) in a subset of the sample

C. Syndromic acute febrile illness/Influenza like illness surveillance through fortnightly phone calls
