Add to this a report of 23% seroprevalence in Delhi (although again, need to see full details to be able to properly interpret) bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-in…

India coronavirus: Nearly one in four in Delhi had Covid-19, study says

Confirmed cases are under 1% of the population, suggesting much more widespread infection.

Replying to @adamjkucharski
For context, there was 90% increase in excess mortality in London, with 15-20% seroprevalence (gov.uk/government/publicatio…). So plausible based on pattern in Lima (290% increase in excess mortality) that seroprevalence could be high in Peru.
