Highlights 1. Two months after the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, the seroprevalence for IgM and IgG in the convalescent patients was 31.82% and 77.27%, respectively. In the total outpatient population, the mean seroprevalence for IgM and IgG in all participants was 2.81% and 7.51%, respectively. 2. Seroprevalence for IgG in medical staff was markedly higher than those in residents. 3. The seroprevalence for IgG was significantly higher in women and elderly individuals than those in men and younger individuals. Individuals with comorbidity had higher seroprevalence than those without comorbidity.
