This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Specific serological tests are mandatory for reliable SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence studies but assay specificity may vary considerably between populations due to interference of immune responses to other pathogens. Here, we assess the false positive rates obtained with four commercially available IgG ELISAs in serum panels originating from three different African countries.
