## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes Coronavirus Disease (COVID) emerged in China in late 2019. It rapidly
spread worldwide and is now causing a pandemic with high morbidity and mortality. Because SARS-COV-2 is
a novel virus in humans, there are many fundamental knowledge gaps in our understanding of the virus and
disease. To undertake a detailed investigation of SARS-COV-2 in Nicaragua, we propose to add on
SARS-COV-2 aims to our existing Household Influenza Cohort Study. The research questions addressed
build naturally on the infrastructure currently in place to conduct the Household Cohort Study. Specifically, we
will add SARS-COV-2 testing on to samples that are already collected through our ongoing cohort study, add
the collection of blood samples around SARS-COV-2 infection in participants, and perform a household SARS-
COV-2 transmission study. This proposal addresses major gaps in knowledge on COVID natural history
and transmission. It is thus timely and well-poised to have substantial public health and scientific
impact.
