Abstract


\n In 108 households (n=474, 280 ≤ 18 years old), SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence was significantly associated with age (range 37.5 -78.7%) and lowest in children ≤ 10 years old. Among 92 households with members ≤ 18, 14 (15.2%) had only a seropositive child or adolescent, while 16 (17.4%) had only seropositive adults. Households with both groups concurrently seropositive (n=62) were larger in size (mean 8.11+/- 2.49) vs. (mean 5.77 +/- 2.31) (p<0.001).\n
