Despite frequent patient contact and the associated increased risk of infection, medical students in their 3rd year of training did not show an increased seroprevalence compared to the general population and showed a lower or similar seroprevalence rate than medical students in other European countries in the first 18 months of the pandemic. This indicates sufficient protection of medical students at the beginning of clinical training through the hygiene and infection protection measures implemented at that time during medical activities.
