Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how common SARS-CoV-2 infections were among residents 18 and older in São Paulo from June 2020 to February 2021 through a population-based survey conducted every 15 days.

Clinical and image-based findings overlap with those for atypical pneumonias, and toxoplasmosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis--especially if immunoglobulin M-specific antibodies are detected.
