“…This could be seen in reports by Sutton et al [10], Vintzileos et al [9], Bianco et al [13] and Dória et al [16] All of them were conducted in areas and timepoints with reported high prevalence of infection [24], and showed higher observed SARS-CoV-2 infection prevalence, ranging between 11 and 19%, with up to 15% of asymptomatic confirmed cases among screened population. On the other side, reports by Naqvi et al [25] and Gagliardi et al [12], reported a low performance of universal screening based either on an overall lower disease burden in their region or due to a referred "steady state" of virus circulation, with less than 1% of asymptomatic confirmed cases. In an intermediate epidemiological situation [24] reports by Khalil et al [11], Miller et al [14] and Ochiai et al [26] presented observed SARS-CoV-2 infection prevalence ranging between 3 and 7%, with up to 6% of asymptomatic confirmed cases among screened population, which are similar to our findings.…”
