This study aims to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection at two hospital systems in two counties with markedly different rates of COVID-19. From April 6, 2020 to June 04, 2020, a total of 11,654 asymptomatic patients were tested for SARS-CoV-2, and 61 (0.52%) were positive [Froedtert Health, 38; UW Health, 23]. During the study period, we observed a low prevalence of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections in these two academic health systems in South Wisconsin. This low prevalence of asymptomatic infections has been recently reported in other areas with high COVID-19 rates, such as Boston and Philadelphia [4, 5] ; however, these two studies included pregnant women and children. In contrast, two hospitals in New York City reported a prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 asymptomatic infections of 14% among women admitted for delivery. ./cache/cord-266820-exl36jt3.txt ./txt/cord-266820-exl36jt3.txt
