These figures are a long way from the seroprevalence rate that would have to be reach for group immunity. Around 60-70% of the population would have to overcome COVID-19 for immunity to be established, according to the report, prepared by the ministry, together with the Carlos III Health Institute, the National Institute of Statistics and governments. regional.
