Asymptomatic infection by SARS-CoV-2 (with no clinical symptoms) was examined using an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)-approved antibody test (Abbott) for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG. This study identifies a very limited seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among asymptomatic individuals accessing the UNC Health system. This study employed an EUA assay performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory on a venous blood sample, with demonstrated specificity to detect antibodies only to SARS-CoV-2, not to seasonal coronaviruses. Upon arrival for SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence in North Carolina ® routine care or scheduled visits for enrollment into the study, patients performed a consent procedure that included reviewing recent COVID-19 clinical history using UNC IRB-approved questionnaires.	./cache/cord-274399-cd7cmpoj.txt	./txt/cord-274399-cd7cmpoj.txt
