Abstract

The continuity of public transportation was necessary during the COVID-19 pandemic so that essential workers could report for duty. Therefore, it is important to consider COVID-19's impact on transit workers themselves. We described COVID-19 incidence rates over time in New York City (NYC) transit workers and the NYC general population during March-May, 2020. NYC transit COVID-19 cases were abstracted from occupational injury and illness logs, and health department data was used to ascertain NYC resident cases. COVID-19 rates among transit workers peaked during the week of March 22-28 (429.8 cases/100,000 workers). The peak in transit workers occurred 1-2 weeks before the general public's peak (March 29-April 4: 368.8 cases/100,000 people; April 5-11: 357.8 cases/100,000 people). These data suggest that NYC transit workers may have been impacted by COVID-19 earlier than the general public. Thus, improving early detection and response of respiratory disease outbreaks may be vital to protecting transit workers.

纽约市公交工人和居民早期 COVID-19 感染的时间趋势：2020年3月1日至2020年5月2日。

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，公共交通的连续性是必要的，这样重要的工作人员才能报到上班。因此，考虑 COVID-19 对公交工人本身的影响非常重要。我们描述了 2020 年 3 月至 5 月期间纽约市（NYC）公交工作人员和纽约市普通人群的 COVID-19 发病率。纽约市公交公司的 COVID-19 病例摘自职业伤病日志，卫生部门的数据用于确定纽约市居民病例。公交工人的 COVID-19 感染率在 3 月 22-28 日的一周内达到峰值（429.8 例/100,000 名工人）。公交工作者的发病高峰比普通民众的发病高峰早 1-2 周（3 月 29 日至 4 月 4 日：368.8 例/100,000 人；4 月 5 日至 11 日：357.8 例/100,000 人）。这些数据表明，纽约市公交工作人员受到 COVID-19 影响的时间可能早于普通公众。因此，加强对呼吸道疾病爆发的早期检测和应对可能对保护公交工人至关重要。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Urban Health is the premier and authoritative source of rigorous analyses to advance the health and well-being of people in cities. The Journal provides a platform for interdisciplinary exploration of the evidence base for the broader determinants of health and health inequities needed to strengthen policies, programs, and governance for urban health. The Journal publishes original data, case studies, commentaries, book reviews, executive summaries of selected reports, and proceedings from important global meetings. It welcomes submissions presenting new analytic methods, including systems science approaches to urban problem solving. Finally, the Journal provides a forum linking scholars, practitioners, civil society, and policy makers from the multiple sectors that can influence the health of urban populations.
