Time to endemicity of SARS-CoV-2 in a sentinel cohort in the Netherlands: findings from a prospective observational study.
Jongen VW. The Lancet Microbe 2026;:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lanmic.2025.101314.
[Almost 5 years after the start of the pandemic, most participants have developed antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 from natural infection, indicating SARS-CoV-2 reached endemicity within this period. Extrapolation of this finding implies that most people worldwide might have experienced at least one SARS-CoV-2 infection. Future emergence of another novel respiratory virus might also take only a few years to reach endemicity, although mitigation measures and vaccination might slow this transition.]
