63% of Bishkek population have COVID-19 antibodies

AKIPRESS.COM - 63% of population in Bishkek have COVID-19 antibodies. Surge in coronavirus cases in the capital is a natural process, Head of the National Viral Infections Control Research Center Zuridin Nurmatov said.
"According to findings of seroprevalence study in August 2020, some 30.1% of country population had antibodies. We had a big difference between the regions. Only 13% of population in Batken region had antibodies. Hence, they had many coronavirus cases in October-November 2020," Zuridin Nurmatov stated.
Antibodies can't disappear, he added. "People just invented that antibodies may disappear. Though such studies were not conducted yet globally. If a person contracted infection naturally, antibodies will remain whole life. They will grow if a person encounters with virus," he said.
