Indeterminate Participants⁎⁎ | ||||||||
W | Attending | no | 3–5% | No | 1.14 | 1.19 | 1.60 | Denied COVID-19 symptoms or positive COVID-19 PCR testing. Banked plasma from 2019 (pre-COVID) was near threshold. Negative anti-spike antibody. Probable cross-reacting antibodies to endemic coronavirus. |
X | Nurse | no | 26–50% | No | 0.63 | 0.74 | 0.79 | Denied COVID-19 symptoms or positive COVID-19 PCR testing. |

Z | Nurse | no | 6–10% | No | 0.44 | 0.39 | 0.52 | Denied COVID-19 symptoms or positive COVID-19 PCR testing. |
seropositive participants had clinical syndrome, positive PCR, and AU above manufacture's threshold of 1.4 AU.
Indeterminate patients had antinucleocapsid result below manufacturer's threshold of 1.4 AU but above MHRA suggested threshold of 0.49 AU.
