Bloomberg reports: Peru Says One-Third of Population May Have Covid-19 Antibodies.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-30/peru-says-one-third-of-population-may-have-covid-19-antibodies Highlights:
Cabinet Chief Walter Martos said Tuesday that between 30% and 35% of the population has probably already been exposed, which could mean that an eventual second wave of infections will be less destructive to the country’s health system and economy.
Several studies published in July suggested 1 in 4 residents of the capital Lima had been infected while the rate in other parts of the South American country may have been as high as 70%.
Martos told Lima-based Canal N that the government’s cautious approach to reopening the economy will help reduce the risk of a major resurgence. “Unlike Europe, we’re reactivating economic activities gradually,” he said.
