Four times as many infections as known

In a local study in the Baden-Württemberg community of Kupferzell, a remarkable number of unreported cases of infections with the coronavirus was found. The Robert Koch Institute published the results on Friday. Almost 7.7 percent of people had antibodies against the coronavirus between the end of May and the beginning of June, 3.9 times more than previously known. Antibodies were detected slightly more frequently in women (8.7 percent) than in men (6.7 percent). 16.8 percent of the people with positive antibody detection had no typical symptoms, 83.2 percent had at least one of the symptoms fever, shortness of breath, pneumonia, runny nose, cough, painful breathing, sore throat, or odor or taste disorders. Antibodies could not be detected in 28.2 percent of adults who say they had a positive SARS-CoV-2 test. However, this does not necessarily mean that there is no immunity, according to the RKI. +++
