Declarations

:

: This study was carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and ethical regulations. Vall d’Hebron Hospital Ethics Committee approved the study (PR(AG)371/2019). Prior to participating, all participants received oral information of the intervention prior and gave oral informed consent. For subjects under 16 and illiterate, parents or legal guardians gave oral consent to participate. Participants’ consent was registered in their computerized medical history. All those who consent were actively enrolled in the community action and underwent screening for Chagas disease and COVID-19. Oral consent was accepted by the Vall d’Hebron Hospital Ethics Committee as this intervention was included as regular clinical practice in our center and the intervention was not only performed for research purposes. Thus, this manuscript reports the results derived from regular clinical practice in our center. The screening procedures performed are the ones established and recommended by the WHO. Participants’ data were codified and analyzed anonymously. No data containing personal or identifying information from the participants have been published.
