We have initiated real-time nationwide anti-SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence surveying of blood donations as a tool in monitoring the epidemic. Thus, numbers of patients tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, admitted to hospital, needing respiratory assistance or deceased from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are updated on a daily basis. The objective of this study is to perform a seroprevalence survey among blood donors as a tool in the monitoring of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic. In this survey of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Danish blood donors we found a seroprevalence of 1.9 (CI: 0.8-2.3) adjusted for the assay performance and a low IFR of 89/100,000 (CI: 72-211). The ratio between estimated antibody-positive individuals and confirmed COVID-19 cases is expected given the targeted early Danish SARS-CoV-2 testing strategy.	./cache/cord-271014-xzpvupms.txt	./txt/cord-271014-xzpvupms.txt
