The study demonstrated that pHCWs in the pediatric emergency department (ED) had a higher prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2-IgG than pHCWs outside the ED. It also suggests universal personal protective equipment (PPE) for pHCWs in the pediatric ED until communicable disease can be definitively ruled out (Morris et al., 2021). While the personal travel of pHCWs was not associated with increased seropositivity in this study, any association between pHCW seropositivity and patient travel was not discussed. This is a potentially vital piece of information, considering this investigation encompassed a period early in the COVID-19 pandemic when history of patient travel was thought to be an important factor in identifying patients at risk of infection. Understanding the effectiveness of current ED triage travel screening and provider-taken travel history to identify patients with travel-related risk for COVID-19 coul
