44% of Rural, 53.8% of Urban Karnataka Was Exposed to Covid-19 by August, Reveals Sero Study

News 18  

A sero study revealed that nearly half of Karnataka’s population was infected with the deadly coronavirus by the end of August. The study also indicated that at least 44.1 per cent of the population in rural areas and 53.8 per cent in urban areas were exposed to Covid-19, therefore developed antibodies for the infection. The study found out that the state alone has 31.5 million Covid-19 cases with 44 per cent of rural and 54 per cent of the urban population affected. Reportedly, based on the government mid-year 2020 population estimates, adjusted seroprevalence across Karnataka implies that approximately 31.5 million residents have been infected, 96.4 times the 3,27,076 publicly reported cases as of August 29. The proportion of those testing positive on RT-PCR ranged from 1.5 to 7.7 per cent in rural areas and 4.0 to 10.5 per cent in urban areas, suggesting a rapidly growing pandemic.
