Socioeconomic Patterns of COVID-19 Clusters in Low-Incidence City, Hong Kong
Gary K K Chung, Siu-Ming Chan, Yat-Hang Chan, Jean Woo, Hung Wong, Samuel Y Wong, Eng Kiong Yeoh, Michael Marmot, Roger Y Chung
Abstract
Although coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreaks have been relatively well controlled in Hong Kong, containment remains challenging among socioeconomically disadvantaged persons. They are at higher risk for widespread COVID-19 transmission through sizable clustering, probably because of exposure to social settings in which existing mitigation policies had differential socioeconomic effects.
Keywords: COVID-19; China; Hong Kong; SARS-CoV-2; clustering; coronavirus disease; infection transmission; respiratory infections; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; socioeconomic status; viruses; zoonoses.
