To the editor
The article regarding conditions of transfer of SARS-CoV2 virus with close contact is meticulously documented it is quite long. However missing is a very important piece of information regarding whether the people who were tested after having had close contact had antibodies which would have made the study more meaningful. Those with IgG antibodies would not be expected to develop Covid19. But we won't know.
