Mild or asymptomatic infections with the SARS coronavirus-2 are often not detected. Antibody studies can provide reliable information on what percentage of the population has already been infected with SARS-CoV-2. The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig is coordinating a nationwide study to determine the spread of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Population samples will be examined in ten selected regions until summer 2021. From 14 October, around 3000 test persons from the city and district of Osnabrück will be invited to take part in the antibody test.

In a joint study of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), and the Heinrich-Pette-Institute, Leibniz Institute for Experimental Virology (HPI), the origins of the first SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in May 2020 at Tönnies in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, Germany's largest meat processing complex, were investigated. The study was published on the preprint platform SSRN in July 2020. The results have now been peer-reviewed and were published in the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine.

Even though we have been living with the COVID- pandemic for more than half a year, there are still many unanswered questions and major uncertainties regarding further infection. How will the epidemic develop in Germany – especially during the upcoming flu season and the cold autumn and winter months? Which strategies are particularly effective in containing the rising number of infections in Germany and worldwide? What has proved successful in recent months? What properties of SARS-CoV- are now understood? And what measures can be imposed for the population and the economy without restricting social life too much?

Many SARS-coronavirus-2 infections are mild or completely asymptomatic and are therefore not detected. This makes it difficult to assess pandemic trends, prevention strategies and mortality rates. Antibody studies can provide reliable information on what percentage of the population has already been infected with SARS-CoV-2. In a nationwide study, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig is using regional samples to investigate the spread of antibodies against the novel coronavirus. The study examines about 3000 test persons in the urban region of Aachen from 9th September 2020.
