    This research is a contribution to understanding the situation during the first months of the pandemic, particularly in individuals affected by SARS-CoV-2, focusing on asymptomatic cases, which serve as an infection source for people with risk factors. Based on a database, all results obtained in the first months of the pandemic were selected. Initially, there was limited knowledge about the disease, as well as the interpretation and meaning of the rapid tests used. Health establishments set criteria to identify infected patients, including the basic symptoms of the disease, so that medical attention could be provided, as well as the rapid test to detect antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. However, potential asymptomatic cases were not considered. This population was not eligible to receive care at health centers, nor were they given the rapid test for detection. Therefore, it was decided to determine the prevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic patients through immunochromatography, using data from all results obtained in the health establishment.
