Persistence of the SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Response in Asymptomatic Patients in Correctional Facilities

SARS-CoV-2 has caused a global health disaster with millions of death worldwide, and the substantial proportion of asymptomatic carriers poses a huge threat to public health. The long-term antibody responses and neutralization activity during natural asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection are unknown. In...
