Title: SARS-CoV-2 Serosurvey in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Cord-id: nk86a6h0 Document date: 2020_9_22
ID: nk86a6h0
Snippet: In a serosurvey of asymptomatic people from the general population recruited from a clinical laboratory in May 2020 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, three of 99 persons tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 IgG (3.0%, 95% binomial exact confidence interval: 0.6–8.6%). Taking into account pretest probability and the sampling scheme, the range of plausible population prevalence values was approximately 1.0–8.4%. These results suggest that a larger number of people have been infected than the counts detected

Taking into account pretest probability and the sampling scheme, the range of plausible population prevalence values was approximately 1.0–8.4%. These results suggest that a larger number of people have been infected than the counts detected by surveillance to date; nevertheless, the results suggest the large majority of the general population in Addis Ababa currently is susceptible to COVID-19.
