Cant speak for any other country but i know swedens antibody tests was 100% accurate on samples they did for proofing. When it came out they talked about how pleased they were that this test was so accurate and that this test somehow worked better since it picked up more variants of the virus than the testing they had previously.
But like you say, what government would test 90k ppl with a test they are not sure really works that well, especially without pointing this out when releasing the data.

So, talking about the antibody tests and how much the rates vary... how reliable are those antibody tests? Wasn't there a story at some point that the UK got a whole bunch which turned out to be completely useless?
I mean I don't assume countries are doing widespread testing based on something that completely doesn't work, but maybe all of these numbers have to be taken with an extra big grain of salt.
