Restitution of the main results of the COVERHA study to the communities involved in the realization of this study, which will allow the Ministry of Health and Population to adapt its response strategies to COVID-19 in CAR.

On Thursday, February 16, the results of the « COVID-19 Evaluation Risk among the Healthcare workers in charge of the first cases in Central African Republic » (COVERHA) were presented.

After welcoming and thanking the health workers from the four health facilities involved in the study, according to the agenda, a number of presentations were made. Finally, the results were presented to the audience. This was followed by a discussion. Results showed that after introducing the vaccine, more than 80% of health workers have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and one year later, 96% had anti-SARS-CoV-2 (IgG). This relatively high proportion of workers testing positive for anti-SARS-CoV-2 serology can be explained by both the infection with the virus and the vaccination against it.
