[Pre-print, not peer reviewed] Residual clinical samples from 763 Seattle-area adults collected during March 5-April 1, 2020 show a seroprevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 of 1.2%, which was 11 times greater than the number of confirmed cases in King County as of April 1. The authors note, however, that participant sampling in the study may not be generalizable to the general population.
