Case fatality rate (CFR) was calculated based on the SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test results between January 5, 2022, and March 15, 2022. The infection fatality rate (IFR) was calculated based on the seroprevalence measured in donors. To account for the differences in gender, age, and regional distribution of donors when compared to the background population (17–72 years with no known comorbidities), we weighted the estimates.
