Table 2.

Protective effectiveness of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection

RR (95% CI) Protective effectiveness*(95% CI)
Whole cohort: confirmed reinfections 0·06 (0·03–0·12); p<0·001 94·1% (88·2–97·0)
Residents: confirmed reinfections 0·04 (0·02–0·11); p<0·001 95·9% (88·9–98·5)
Staff: confirmed reinfections 0·08 (0·03–0·21); p<0·001 91·8% (78·6–96·8)
Whole cohort: all suspected reinfections 0·15 (0·09–0·24); p<0·001 85·5% (76·1–91·1)

RR=relative risk.
