As part of the study of population immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the Nizhny Novgorod region, 2829 blood serum samples were tested from 06/23/2020 to 07/13/2020.

The study tested 2829 blood serum samples obtained from volunteers of seven age groups (1-17, 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, over 70 years old) living in the city N. Novgorod (83.3%) and nine districts of the Nizhny Novgorod region (16.7%) - Arzamas, Balakhninsky, Bogorodsk, Borsky, Vyksunsky, Dzerzhinsk, Kstovsky, Pavlovsky, Semenovsky.
