Six months into the coronavirus epidemic, 23.48 % of the people in densely-populated Delhi have developed anti-bodies for coronavirus, a study commissioned by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare revealed on Tuesday.
The data came out in a sero-surveillance study by the National Centre for Disease Control in collaboration with the Delhi Government. The study was conducted from June 27 to July 10 in the city.
“The results of the sero-prevalence study show that on an average, across Delhi, the prevalence of IgG antibodies is 23.48 %. The study also indicates that a large number of infected persons remain asymptomatic,” the ministry said in a statement.
It is one of the largest sero-prevalence studies conducted in the country using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) testing.
