Analyses used nonmissing values in both variables in the 2-way table. P values obtained from the statistical tests were by Fisher exact test.

b

RT-PCR testing performed prior to serological testing.

c

Fisher exact test (excluding other, declined, and unknown groups).

d

The other category included American Indian, Hispanic, Native Hawaiian, and others.
