South African Population Immunity and Severe Covid-19 with Omicron Variant

2021-12-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> We conducted a seroepidemiological survey from October 22 to December 9, 2021, in Gauteng Province, South Africa, to determine SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin G (IgG) seroprevalence primarily before the fourth wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), in which the B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant was dominant.
