I first discuss the potential mechanisms between exposure to air pollution and COVID-19 and the opportunity to clearly formulate causal questions of interest through the target trial framework. Such environmental justice issues are critical and may contribute to explain the reported differential impacts of COVID-19 on race/ethnic communities in the US Occupational health (59, 60) can also provide critical actionable evidence by identifying highrisk workers given that some workplace conditions (e.g. health care providers and caregivers; water and wastewater sector; construction workers…) may increase severity of health outcomes or interact with other risks such as extreme heat (61) .	./cache/cord-341644-egbahelm.txt	./txt/cord-341644-egbahelm.txt
