Sweden has said that 7.3% of the people in its Stockholm capital had developed antibodies needed to fight the Coronavirus by the end of April, Reuters reports.
Statistics is the first published discovery of the country's study at the levels of antibodies in its population.
Swedish epidemiologist Anders Tegnell said the number was “slightly lower” than was expected “but not extremely low, maybe one or two percent. ”
It goes very well with the models we have”, he added, while speaking at a press conference in Stockholm.
The study was conducted to determine the possible immunity of the flock to the Swedish population.
It was based on 1118 tests conducted within a week. Sweden's Public Health Authority aims to conduct the same number of tests every seven days over an eight-week period.
Results from other regions will be released later, a spokesperson for the Public Health Authority said.
Sweden adopted a different strategy from other Nordic states, choosing to keep most of its schools, restaurants and bars open in an effort to strengthen herd immunity. This has peaked at one of the highest levels of death in Europe.
