• The 4th round of national serosurvey was conducted in 70 districts in June-July and included children of 6-17 years of age: ICMR DG Dr Balram Bhargava
• Overall seroprevalence is 67.6% in the entire population. In people of 6-9 years age group, it was 57.2%; in 10-17 years, it was 61.6%; in 18-44 years, it was 66.7%; in 45-60 years, it was 77.6%: ICMR DG Dr Balram Bhargava

• We studied 7252 healthcare workers & 10% had not taken the vaccine, the overall seroprevalence in them was 85.2%. In conclusion, 2/3rd of general population i.e above the age of 6 yrs had SARS-CoV-2 infection: ICMR DG Dr Balram Bhargava
