Summary

The investigators will evaluate the profile of the immune response of Ethiopian population and examine its relationship with the noted low CD4+ T-cell count and underlying immune activation status among participants with COVID-19 and will compare results with those residing in Europe. In addition, this project will evaluate the performance of various rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for SARS-CoV-2, taking into account the above-determined immune system characteristics. We will also evaluate the effect of co-infection with parasites on COVID-19 severity
