In 19205 participants, the seroprevalence was <3% until Mid-December 2020 in all regions. Mostly low seroprevalence was estimated in Reutlingen, Aachen, Freiburg, and Osnabrück after the first wave while serological study in Magdeburg cumulatively already indicates the onset of the second wave. Unweighted and weighted SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalences for all study population: Table 5 (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/medrxiv/early/2021/05/06/2021.05.04.21256597/T5/graphic-12.large.jpg and https://www.medrxiv.org/content/medrxiv/early/2021/05/06/2021.05.04.21256597/T5/graphic-13.large.jpg)

Out of 30 COVID-S*19 patients, 23 showed the presence of anti-S*N antibodies, 20 showed anti-S*** antibodies, and 13 had anti-S*M antibodies. S** denotes a full-length spike with a pair of trimer-stabilizing proline mutations (986KV987 to 986PP987) and a quartet of S1/S2 protease cleavage site changes (682RRAR685 to 682GSAG685)
