Measures of SARS-CoV-2 infection across 10 craft and manual worker communities, Qatar. A) Seropositivity (antibody positivity), B) real-time RT-PCR positivity, C) infection positivity (antibody or real-time RT-PCR positive), and D) diagnosis rate. Panels B and D show results for only the 6 communities for whom real-time RT-PCR testing was performed. Percentages are shown above bars. Numbers along the x-axes of each panel indicate the community number. Error bars indicate 95% CIs. CMW, craft and manual workers; RT-PCR, real-time reverse transcription PCR; SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
