Rapid Increase of Community SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence during Second Wave of COVID-19, Yaounde, Cameroon.

ABSTRACT: We conducted 2 independent population-based SARS-CoV-2 serosurveys in Yaoundé, Cameroon, during January 27-February 6 and April 24-May 19, 2021. Overall age-standardized SARS-CoV-2 IgG seroprevalence increased from 18.6% in the first survey to 51.3% in the second (p<0.001). This finding illustrates high community transmission during the second wave of COVID-19.
