Zero survey: Tough immunity created in Delhi, with over 90 per cent of the population infected

Evidence has emerged that the corona epidemic is developing strong immunity in Delhi. For the past one and a half years, the corona has been facing an epidemic crisis, but for the first time through a zero survey, during the second wave in Delhi, almost every house was found to be gripped by infection. In the sixth zero survey of the Delhi government, antibodies against corona were confirmed in over 90 per cent of the population.

Earlier, a fifth sero survey was conducted in January this year, during which time antibodies against the infection were found in only 56.13 per cent of the population. The first survey after the second wave has now come out.

The committee submitted its survey report to the Delhi government on Wednesday. According to the survey, more than 90 per cent of the people in Delhi have developed antibodies against the corona virus. Like the second wave in April and May, almost the entire population in Delhi has acquired antibodies against the infection, so a new wave is not expected in the future, a government official said.

However, it is a different fact that medical science has not yet fully relied on tough immunity, because even in many countries of the world, the impact of the epidemic is still very severe.

Eighty-five percent higher sero-positivity in each district
Zero survey was reported five times before the second wave in Delhi. The sixth survey was launched last month in collaboration with three charities. This is the first zero survey after the second wave.

As part of this, a total of 28,000 random samples were taken from 280 wards from September 24 and examined. At this time, in every district of Delhi, a zero positivity rate i.e. infection was found to be over 85 per cent of the population.

Infections are more common in women when they are at home

According to the survey report, more women than men are sero-positive. Women who spend most of their time at home become infected after making contact with outsiders. Most women do not even know the source of the infection.

There is no need to worry about the delta variant
At present, the delta variant is also more prevalent in Delhi, a health official said. This transformation is very serious, so there is no need to worry about it. However he acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat a new crisis.

Evidence of a strong immunity to the corona epidemic has emerged on the screen in Delhi. The corona pandemic crisis has been raging for the past one and a half years, but for the first time during the second wave in Delhi by the Zero Survey, almost every household was found to be in the grip of an epidemic. In the sixth zero survey of the Delhi government, antibodies against corona were confirmed in more than 90 per cent of the population.
