Åke Lundkvist, Stefan Hanson, Björn Olsén
Abstract
The prevalence of COVID-19 antibodies on June 17-18, 2020 was investigated in two residential areas of Stockholm, Sweden. Among the residents in Norra Djurgårdsstaden, a newly built upper- and middle-class area of Stockholm, 4.1% of study participants had SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies, while in Tensta, a highly segregated low-income area, 30% of the participants tested antibody positive.
