There is limited information on patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 symptoms, particularly those in primary care settings.
The study aimed to determine the presence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in a community sample and patients monitored by General Practitioners in Barcelona.
Findings revealed that about 5.5% of randomly selected asymptomatic individuals tested positive for antibodies, while nearly 40% of symptomatic patients followed by GPs were seropositive, indicating a lower than expected prevalence in the community sample.
