By November 2021, after the third wave of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections in South Africa, seroprevalence was 60% in a rural community and 70% in an urban community. High seroprevalence before the Omicron variant emerged may have contributed to reduced illness severity observed in the fourth wave.
截至 2021 年 11 月,南非出现第三波严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 型感染后,农村社区的血清流行率为 60%,城市社区为 70%。奥密克戎变异株出现之前的高血清流行率可能导致第四波观察到的疾病严重程度降低。
