Common Cold Coronavirus Test Positivity Decreased After Widespread SARS-CoV-2 Experience
Our results suggest that ccCoV, but not RSV and IV, positivity has decreased significantly in recent respiratory seasons. There are multiple potential mechanisms for the observed ccCoVs decrease, such as cross-reactive immune response among the different but highly related CoVs, along with changing behavioral and health care practices.
