CONCLUSIONS: We report a high prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in HCWs in Mexico City. The situation in Mexico is complex, given that SARS-CoV-2 infections coexist with a high prevalence of comorbidities associated with COVID-19 complications in a large proportion of patients, including HCWs. Furthermore, healthcare systems within Mexico are highly fragmented and quality of care and the ability to protect HCWs within each institution is highly heterogeneous due to structural inequalities, which overall could increase the disparities in risk among HCWs within marginalized communities (7) . Our results also show that comorbidities in HCWs, particularly those related to chronic noncommunicable diseases (e.g., diabetes, obesity and arterial hypertension), and the presentation of severe respiratory symptoms at the time of clinical assessment, increases the risk of adverse COVID-19 outcomes. ./cache/cord-355734-pz64534w.txt ./txt/cord-355734-pz64534w.txt
