Epidemiological Measure | Sample (Denominator) | Positive for Outcome (Numerator) | Estimate (95% CI), %a |
---|---|---|---|
Antibody positivity (seropositivity) prevalence | 2641 | 1427 | 55.3 (53.3–57.3) |
PCR positivity prevalence | 2092b | 233 | 11.3 (9.9–12.8) |
Infection (antibody and/or PCR) positivity prevalence | 2641 | 1571 | 60.6 (58.6–62.5) |
Infection diagnosis ratec | 1427 | 131 | 9.3 (7.9–11.0) |
Antibody-negative CMWs previously PCR-diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection | 1214 | 4 | 0.4 (0.1–1.0) |
Infection severity rated | 1590e | 8f | 0.5 (0.2–1.0) |
Abbreviations: CMWs, craft and manual workers; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
aEstimates weighted by age, nationality, and center.
bOnly 2092 persons consented to have nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs.
cProportion of antibody-positive CMWs with a prior SARS-CoV-2 laboratory-confirmed PCR diagnosis.
dNumber of infections ever severe or critical per World Health Organization criteria over total number of laboratory-confirmed infections (antibody and/or PCR positive).
eThis number includes also 4 persons who were antibody negative and PCR negative at the time of the survey but had a PCR-positive result before the survey. This number also includes 15 persons who were antibody negative and PCR negative at the time of the survey but had a PCR-positive result subsequent to the survey at the time of data linking and analysis (October 7, 2020).
fSeven participants in this study had ever had (or progressed to) a severe infection and 1 had a critical infection per World Health Organization infection severity classification [24] at the time of data linking and analysis (October 7, 2020).
