[Pre-print, not peer reviewed] SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence was low (<1%) among a large cohort of healthcare workers (HCWs) in Tennessee (n=11,787) from May to June 2020, despite sustained community-wide transmission during the same time period. Differences in seroprevalence across facilities reflected the differences in levels of community transmissions, with higher prevalence among HCWs located in urban centers.
