Coronavirus (Covid-19) Infection Survey Antibody Data For Northern Ireland – Department of Health

The Department of Health today published a report on antibody data from the COVID-19 Infection Survey (CIS). The findings set out in this report relate to estimates for NI for the week beginning 18 July 2022.

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.

Key Findings

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). Two levels are reported; a 179 ng/ml level, which is consistent with previous publications, and an 800 ng/ml level.

Please note that the results in this bulletin are based on data collected from study worker home visits up until 24 July 2022. We have now moved to a more flexible remote data collection method. Participants can complete the survey online or by telephone, and swab and blood samples are returned through the post (or by courier for some participants). As a result of this change, there will be a pause to the publication of our antibodies bulletin on Wednesday 7 September 2022. This is to enable final checks to be carried out before the results from this new method are released for the first time in our antibodies bulletin on Wednesday 21 September 2022. For more information about this change, please see the recent ONSblog post.
