What do antibody tests say? Results from Ischgl

Comprehensive tests were done for 1473 people (1259 adults, 241 children) between April 21st to 27th. These are 79% of the population of Ischgl. 42.4% of them were found to have antibodies, which is 6x more than those that tested positive earlier via PCR tests. This means 85% had Covid19 were asymptomatic. However, herd immunity still cannot be assumed. The majority of cases was of age 18-60 years. They will do more tests to see if the antibodies were retained. Two people died from the pandemic and 9 were hospitalized, which is consistent with Mihai's estimate.
