Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	age-dependence of SARS-CoV-2 infection	registry of household members with and without symptoms of COVID-19 (entire households)	3 months from the point in time at which the first household member shows symptoms of COVID-19
Primary	percentage of household members infected by SARS-CoV-2	The infection rate is determined on the basis of specific PCR tests and detectibility of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.	3 months from the point in time at which the first household member shows symptoms of COVID-19
Primary	duration of primary COVID-19 symptoms	The possible association between the length of time with symptoms of COVID-19 and specific immune responses, in particular the development of virus-neutralizing antibodies, is studied.	2 months from the onset of COVID-19 symptoms
