The prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among healthcare workers employed at clinics in three rural counties in eastern South Dakota and western Minnesota rose from 0.3% (1 of 336 samples) between May and July 2020 to 15% (35 of 235 samples) between October and December 2020, suggesting that a significant proportion of healthcare workers remained susceptible to COVID-19.
