Abstract

General population serosurveillance in low-income Africa is fundamental to understanding thepopulation exposure to SARS-CoV-2, to explain the observed epidemiology and to ensure that ongoing control measures in the region are proportionate and are not guided by observationsfrom very different settings. Detailed longitudinal immunological studies of infected individuals will be key to determining the long-term strategy in managing COVID-19 in highly vulnerable African populations.
