In a study of 30 families with a documented COVID-19 index case, the SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence based on IgG antibody results was similar among adults (59%) and children (52%), despite twice as many children being previously diagnosed with COVID-19. Seroprevalence was also similar among children <5 (50%) and older than 5 years (54%).
