ABSTRACT

In a Nicaraguan population-based cohort, SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence was 34%, with higher prevalence in children compared to adults. Having a seropositive household member was associated with a two-fold probability of individual seropositivity, suggesting a role for household transmission. Co-morbidities and preventive behaviors were not associated with SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence.
