Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among high-risk healthcare workers in a MERS-CoV endemic area.

Introduction: Healthcare workers (HCWs) in Saudi Arabia are a unique population who have had exposures to the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2).
