The study provides an estimate for the prevalence of SARS-CoV‑2 infection in asymptomatic patients presenting for IVI. While these data may be used as a baseline, further research is needed to assess the development of SARS-CoV‑2 prevalence in this patient group in order to support risk assessment and infection prevention strategies.
