Popis: It is not known whether non-ABO antibodies confer any protective effect against SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 severe illness alone or in conjunction with O blood group. This cohort study included 413 576 persons in Ontario, Canada with known ABO blood group and non-ABO antibody screen status, who subsequently underwent SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA polymerase chain reaction testing between January and November 2020. The risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 severe illness was not associated with the presence of non-ABO antibodies, even among persons with O blood group.
