The findings from this unique study in older students and their teachers indicate that the prevalence of IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 remains extremely low after the first wave of the corona pandemic in Germany. In fact, 5 of the 12 participants with antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 had a personal or household history of COVID-19, yielding a ratio of unidentified to identified cases of 2.4, which is much smaller than that previously assumed by some authors 9 . ./cache/cord-347734-0z2kin6r.txt ./txt/cord-347734-0z2kin6r.txt
