That was an increase from 79.6 per cent a month ago.
The figure stretched from 84.7 per cent in Scotland (up month on month from 71.8 per cent) to 91.8 per cent in Wales (up from 82.1 per cent). In Northern Ireland, it is estimated that 87.2 per cent of the adult population would have tested positive for antibodies, up from 80.0 per cent.

What an antibody test can tell you
An antibody test can tell you if it's likely you've had COVID-19 before.
But it does not work for everyone, as some people who've had the virus do not have antibodies.
An antibody test does not tell you:
- if you're immune to COVID-19
- If you can or cannot spread the virus to other people
How an antibody test works
An antibody test checks for antibodies in your blood.
Your body makes antibodies when you get an infection. They help fight the infection.
If you have COVID-19 antibodies in your blood, it's likely you've had the virus before.
It's not known if having antibodies stops you getting the virus again.
