56.13% in Delhi have antibodies against Covid-19, says Satyendra Jain

Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain said on Tuesday 56.13 per cent of those covered under the latest serological survey in the city in January have developed antibodies against coronavirus.

The minister also said Delhi was “moving towards herd immunity, but only experts will be able to give a clear picture”. At 62.18 percent, Southwest Delhi district reported maximum seroprevalence. North Delhi at 49.09 percent recorded the lowest.

Experts, though, advised caution. "Even if the sample size is relatively small, it must be taken into account. However, the conclusions on herd immunity have to be taken with a pinch of salt,"
