Population-Based Serosurveys for SARS-CoV-2: Key Findings From Five African Countries: November 2020 to June 2021

2022-02-22

Abstract excerpt

Background: National SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence estimates are important for understanding prior or current viral exposure and guiding current and future epidemic prevention and control. Africa CDC launched a serosurveillance project to support Africa Union Member States with generating nationally representative seroprevalence estimates to understand the spread and descriptive epidemiology of the disease and, in tur...
