Self-reported positive COVID-19 tests and suspected infections in the adult Canadian population by region, sex and age group

This survey provides new evidence about those who indicated on their electronic questionnaire a positive test result with either a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test or a rapid antigen test (RAT), as well as those who suspected that they had an infection. These results are based on the individual's self-reported first positive test result or first suspected infection and does not account for multiple infections.
