This report is part of the series of Northern Ireland publications from the COVID-19 Infection Survey. Further information can be found on the Department of Health website.
In this bulletin, we report percentages of the population that are estimated to have antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the specific virus that causes coronavirus (COVID-19).
In Northern Ireland, in the week beginning 28 November 2022, the percentage of people aged 16 and over estimated to have antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 at or above 800 ng/ml was 78.3% (95% credible interval: 74.6% to 81.6%), an increase from 75.3% in our previous bulletin (published on 1 December 2022 for week beginning 17 October 2022).
Estimates of antibody positivity at 2000 ng/ml, 4000 ng/ml and 6000 ng/ml are also presented in the bulletin. These levels have been introduced to enable enhanced monitoring of antibody levels and waning.
