From the article:
• The results of a third COVID survey by the South African National Blood Service have been published.
• By testing for two different antibodies in blood donors, the researchers were able to conclude that about 98% of people in South Africa have either been vaccinated against COVID, infected by COVID, or both.
• About 10% of people have been vaccinated but not had COVID.
• The survey was conducted shortly before the April/May wave, which indicates that reinfection is now commonplace.
