Abstract
BURGOS DIEZ, Paloma et al. Teleworking does not influence the prevalence of Covid infection in a cohort of health administration workers without exposure to Covid patients. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.2, pp.208-216. Epub Sep 13, 2021. ISSN 3020-1160.
Due to the pandemic, teleworking was considered as an option to continue the work rhythm.
Objectives:
To assess the influence of presence at work on the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Know the variables related to presence at work.
Material and Methods:
Prospective, descriptive, cross-sectional prevalence study. Variables: age, sex, weight, height, tobacco, comorbidities, flu vaccination, COVID-19 symptoms, contact, work modality. Carrying out rapid SARS-CoV-2 antibody test
Results:
The prevalence of workers is significantly related to: age, non-smoker, flu vaccine, suspicious symptoms, living with patients. Presence at work has been significantly related to: sex and smoker. The seroprevalence was higher in workers who did not go to their position compared to those who did always or occasionally.
Conclusions:
Teleworking does not seem to influence the reduction of seroprevalence due to Covid-19. The risk of contagion is lower at work than at the worker's home.
