This large nationwide population-based seroepidemiological study provides evidence on the effectiveness of physical distancing (>1.5m) and indoor group size reductions on SARS-CoV-2 infection. Additionally, young adults may play an important role in viral spread, opposed to children up until 12 years of age with whom close contact is permitted.
