The results of the first wave of the seroprevalence survey that has been carried out throughout the country place Las Palmas as the province in which Covid-19 has had the least impact, together with Murcia. According to the results of the random tests carried out within that study, 1.4% of the population would have contracted the disease in this province, compared to the 5% registered on average in Spain.
As for the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which has been more affected by the cases registered in the capital island, the percentage of the population in which antibodies have been detected is 2.1%.
Meanwhile, in the rest of Spain very unequal results have been recorded, with provinces where more than 10% of infections would have been exceeded and others where, as in Las Palmas, they have not reached 2%.
In Madrid, the percentage has stood at 11.3%, even being surpassed by provinces such as Cuenca, which has registered the highest percentage with 14.7%; Soria, with 14.2%; and Segovia, with 12.8%. For its part, Barcelona has yielded a percentage of 7.1%.
By communities, the average between the two provinces of the Canary Islands leaves the archipelago with an incidence of the disease in 1.8% of the population. And this, in turn, means that 98.2% of Canarians would not have been immunized or generated antibodies against the coronavirus. Asturias is located with the same percentage as the Canary Islands, also with 1.8%; while below is Murcia, which with its only province has yielded that rate of 1.4%.
