Seroprevalence by Age
The serology workstream aims to estimate the proportion of people who have antibodies to coronavirus ("seroprevalence") in the general population of Scotland and to see if this changes over time. Information is presented on total antibody tests performed, positive results and estimated seroprevalence broken down by age group of individual.
