Main Article

Figure 1

Seroprevalence of antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Portugal, compared with official reported confirmed cases, by sex and age. A) Female; B) male. Adjusted seroprevalence measured in this study (numbers above light gray bars) is compared with confirmed cases (numbers above dark gray bars) as a fraction of the corresponding population group (on September 1, 2020). Error bars indicate 95% CIs for estimates. This figure includes different age ranges for consistency with the official data on number of cases by age.
