China Conducts COVID-19 Antibody Survey on 5,000 Beijing Residents

[Asia Economy Reporter Son Seon-hee] Beijing, China, has decided to conduct a COVID-19 antibody survey targeting approximately 5,000 citizens.

This measure appears to be aimed at confirming the antibody positivity rate following a large-scale infection outbreak since the transition to 'With COVID' last month.

Wang Quan, Deputy Director of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, reportedly stated in an interview with local media on the 31st, "We will soon carry out an antibody survey to comprehensively assess the COVID-19 infection situation in Beijing and to understand the antibody levels of residents."

Beijing authorities plan to start the COVID-19 antibody survey next month and complete it by March.
