In this study, we investigated the seroconversion of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection in ICU HCP exposed to critically ill COVID-19 patients. In total, 134 ICU HCP responded to the survey, and 121 HCP were eligible for SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG antibody testing. Of 134 ICU HCP eligible staff, 13 were excluded and 121 underwent SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG antibody testing.	./cache/cord-319427-jkxioc1j.txt	./txt/cord-319427-jkxioc1j.txt
