    Snippet: The first SARS-CoV-2 infected individual in Iceland was identified on February 28, having returned from northern Italy before it had been designated a high-risk area by the Icelandic authorities. Less than a month later, March 22 2020, 528 individuals had tested positive for the virus out of 4,551 targeted for testing (11.6%) and 50 out of 5,502 participants of the population screening (0.9%) ( Table 1) Table 1 ).

    Document: The first SARS-CoV-2 infected individual in Iceland was identified on February 28, having returned from northern Italy before it had been designated a high-risk area by the Icelandic authorities. Less than a month later, March 22 2020, 528 individuals had tested positive for the virus out of 4,551 targeted for testing (11.6%) and 50 out of 5,502 participants of the population screening (0.9%) ( Table 1) Table 1 ). In the early targeted testing 40.1% of positives reported contact with a known infected individual, compared to 55.6% in the later. Of the positives from the population screening, 34.0% had recently traveled outside of Iceland, which is substantially more than the 13.7% of the negatives (P=0.00025), and only 6% of them reported contact with an infected person. This low number of contacts is most certainly because known contacts of infected persons were in quarantine and were not eligible for the population screening.
