○ The expert advisory committee (2 September and 9 September) noted that:
- The results have limited implications regarding the current situation since the samples were collected before 14 August.
- Positivity rate lower than other countries is partly explained by the relatively low number of cases from June to August thanks to public participation in social distancing.
○ Antibody survey will be conducted roughly every two months to study seroprevalence.
□ Social distancing level has been lowered to Level 2 for the greater capital area until 27 September. KDCA requests the public to continue to follow the guidelines for COVID-19 prevention.
