Abstract

We compared severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus-2 seroprevalence estimated from commercial laboratory residual sera and a community household survey in metropolitan Atlanta during April-May 2020 and found these two estimates to be similar (4.94% versus 3.18%). Compared with more representative surveys, commercial sera can provide an approximate measure of seroprevalence.
