According to the Kyodo news agency, the share of people with antibodies in Osaka stands at 0.58 per cent, in the Aichi prefecture at 0.54 per cent, in the Fukuoka prefecture at 0.19 per cent and in the Miyagi prefecture at 0.14 per cent.

Experts reportedly said in the study these figures showed that almost nobody had Coronavirus antibodies in Japan, as well as stressed the need to step up the vaccination efforts to develop herd immunity.
