| In spite of high mortality from COVID-19, in Mexico the number of confirmed cases and diagnostic tests per million population are lower than for other comparable countries, which leads to uncertainty about the actual extent of the pandemic. In Mexico City, healthcare workers represent an important fraction of individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection. This work aims to estimate the frequency of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and identify associated factors in healthcare workers at a large hospital in Mexico City. We conducted a serological survey in a non-COVID national referral teaching hospital. We selected a representative sample of 300 individuals. Blood samples were collected and questionnaires were applied between August 10th and September 9th, 2020. ELISA results indicate a serological prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection of 13.0%. Working in the janitorial and security groups, having an educational level below a university degree, and living with a larger number of people, were also identified as sociodemographic factors that increase the risk of having SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thus, less favored socioeconomic groups are at significantly higher risk of experiencing SARS-CoV-2 infection. Even in healthcare workers there is still a majority of individuals that are seronegative, and thus the risk of continued epidemic waves and mortality remains high. | |
