Abstract

Highlights: Nosocomial transmission of SARS-CoV-2 between healthcare workers is evident. Ethnicity is associated with SARS-CoV-2 antibody seroprevalence. Socioeconomic factors influence risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 screening strategies must adapt to local healthcare contexts. Collider bias can affect the interpretation of observational cohort data.
