As our objective was to identify potentially missed cases of COVID-19 during serial surveillance testing, samples from residents with historically negative SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests with DiaSorin IgG-positive results were re-tested on a second serologic testing platform (Abbott SARS-CoV-2 IgG Immunoassay) for IgG antibody specific to SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid. In a cohort of 150 nursing home residents tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection by RT-PCR, including 26 previously diagnosed with COVID-19, the sensitivity of the DiaSorin assay was 92% (24/26) and the specificity was 98% (122/124).	./cache/cord-340317-gwqy6u9x.txt	./txt/cord-340317-gwqy6u9x.txt
