The exact number of participants≥70 years tested is not provided for the studies in Iceland, Canada and Dominical Republic, but based on the number of participants in the highest provided age stratum and the age-structure of the population in these countries, it is likely that those≥70 would exceed the minimum required sample of n=1000. For Iceland, the data include the cases detected with positive test (the majority) plus those estimated to be infected based on antibody testing.
*Information available does not allow reliable calculation of 95% CIs.
fh, percent share of those ≥70 years old in the population of the location; ND, no data; PRC, polymerase chain reaction; ; S, shielding ratio.
