SARS-CoV-2 Seropositivity in Asymptomatic Frontline Health Workers in Ibadan, Nigeria

Olatunde Olayanju et al.

Summary: Despite the predicted high magnitude of the pandemic in Africa due to poor health structures and living conditions, surprisingly, a study in a hospital in Nigeria found a high seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among frontline health workers, indicating the need for stricter precautions within the hospital environment.

S. F. Lumley et al.

Summary: In a longitudinal study of seropositive and seronegative health care workers undergoing asymptomatic and symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 testing, the presence of anti-spike or anti-nucleocapsid IgG antibodies was associated with a substantially reduced risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection in the ensuing 6 months.

Seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies in Kenyan blood donors

Sophie Uyoga et al.

Summary: The prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin G among blood donors in Kenya from April to June 2020 was 4.3%, with the highest rates in urban counties like Mombasa, Nairobi, and Kisumu. This suggests that SARS-CoV-2 exposure is more widespread than case-based surveillance indicates.
