Asymptomatic survivor cohort: 1. Documented prior SARS-CoV-2 infection as evidenced by one of the following: 1. detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen in NP swab, saliva, sputum, or other sample source with EUA/approval from the FDA without history of clinical manifestation compatible with COVID-19; or 2. positive SARS-CoV-2 antibody test using an assay that has received EUA from the FDA without history of clinical manifestation compatible with COVID-19\*. 2. Positive SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen test is at least 4 weeks before baseline visit. * one or more of the following: ageusia, anosmia, chills, confusion, cough, rash, "COVID toes", diarrhea, dyspnea, fatigue, fever, headache, myalgia, nausea/vomiting, pneumonia, rhinorrhea. Healthy contact (control) cohort: 1\. No diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection or current symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 and meets one of the following criteria: 1. Lived in the same household as a participant with SARS-CoV-2 infection during the time of illness, or was within approximately 6 feet (2 meters) of the participant for a prolonged period of time, or having direct contact with infectious secretions of a COVID-19 case (e.g., being coughed on). 2. Lives in an area affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection Parents and guardians: In order to participate in this study as a parent or guardian, an individual must meet all of the following criteria: 1. Is a parent or guardian of a participant enrolled as a survivor or as a control. 2. Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study. 3. Willing to allow storage of data for future research. Exclusion Criteria: Survivors and controls: An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: 1. Any symptoms suggestive of an ongoing infection within 15 days of baseline visit, including but not limited to fever \> 38.2 °C, new or worsening respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, dyspnea), or new or worsening gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or abdominal pain). 2. Any medical or mental health condition that, in the judgement of the principal investigator, would make the volunteer unable to participate in the study. 3. Pregnancy. Parents and guardians: An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: 1\. Any medical or mental health condition that, in the judgement of the principal investigator, would make the volunteer unable to participate in the study.
