anti-N antibodies

As of February 2022, approximately 75% of children and adolescents had serologic evidence of previous infection with SARS-CoV-2, with approximately one third becoming newly seropositive since December 2021.

These findings illustrate a high infection rate for the Omicron variant, especially among children

Testing negative means that an individual did not have enough antibodies to be detected in the test, not that they do not have any immune protection against the virus.

Natural immunity

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/w...

CDC data from New York and California demonstrated that natural immunity was 2.8 times more effective in preventing hospitalization

3.3 to 4.7 times more effective in preventing COVID infection compared to vaccination during the Delta wave.
