11% Pakistanis have developed protective immunity

In Pakistan, a study conducted in 25 cities shows that almost 11% of Pakistanis have developed protective immunity across the country against coronavirus. The "National Seroprevalence Study" was initiated in July this year by the Health Services Academy in collaboration with multiple partners, including the Aga Khan University, and with technical support from the World Health Organisation. It reveals that the population of urban areas and people up to middle age are more protected against the disease. However, population in rural areas and senior citizens are at highest risk from a possible second wave of the deadly virus.
