Around 13 percent of the country’s population has been found to have been infected with the coronavirus until September, according to a seroprevalence survey carried out by the Ministry of Health and Population.

The nationwide study, which was conducted with technical as well as financial support from the World Health Organisation, found the highest Covid-19 prevalence in Province 2, followed by Bagmati Province, Province 1, Lumbini Province, Gandaki Province, Sudurpaschim Province and Karnali Province, suggests the report, which is yet to be made public.

A seroprevalence survey is a study carried out to determine the extent of infection in the general population. A serology test examines the presence of antibodies in the human body.
