7.6% Exposed to Coronavirus in Chandigarh, Finds Sero Survey by PGIMER
News 18The preliminary data of the sero survey conducted by the PGIMER to detect the prevalence of Covid-19 in Chandigarh has shown that 7.6 per cent of the tested samples had antibodies against the virus, it was announced on Saturday. PGIMER Director Jagat Ram said, “We are at a very preliminary stage of the study which is aimed at identifying the sero prevalence of Covid-19 at the community level and monitoring the transmission trends. 7.6 per cent were found positive for IgG antibodies test, clearly indicating that they had caught the Covid-19 infection but were asymptomatic and hence had developed antibodies,” said Mini P. Singh. However, among the healthy population, the sero positivity was found to be only 7.6 per cent implying that most of the tri-city population is still not exposed to the virus.
