Most Canadians caught COVID-19 since Omicron and its subvariants triggered waves of infection this year - with estimates suggesting almost two-thirds of the population had it. The study found more than 60% of the overall population had antibodies from prior infection by Aug. The highest level of infections by far were in Canadians under 19, with at least 70% to 80% of youth showing evidence of prior infection but adults are also seeing an increase in COVID, with at least 60% to 70% of those aged 20 to 59 years old and about 40% of those over 60 showing evidence of previous infection.
