Almost one in five Canadians say they tested positive for COVID-19 before April 2022, according to a national survey by Statistics Canada.
, found 19.5 per cent of respondents said they had tested positive for COVID-19 before April 1, 2022. Of these, 9.8 per cent said they tested positive on a PCR test and 9.7 per cent said they received a positive result on a rapid antigen test.
Among the top reasons why people thought they had been infected were: having had COVID-19 symptoms; having been exposed to a household member who was suspected to have had, or who tested positive for, COVID-19; and having been exposed to someone outside their household who was suspected to have had, or who tested positive for, COVID-19.
“Not everyone who acquired COVID-19 may have been aware or tested,” the report reads. “This limitation was exacerbated with the onset of the Omicron variant in late 2021, as much higher rates of infections put a strain on PCR testing in some jurisdictions.”
