20.500.12556/DKUM-88726 Occupations and their impact on the spreading of COVID-19 in urban communities The current pandemic has disproportionally afected the workforce. To improve our understanding of the role that occupations play in the transmission of COVID-19, we analyse real-world network data that were collected in Bucharest between August 1st and October 31st 2020. The data record sex, age, and occupation of 6895 patients and the 13,272 people they have interacted with, thus providing a social network from an urban setting through which COVID-19 has spread. Quite remarkably, we fnd that medical occupations have no signifcant efect on the spread of the virus. Instead, we fnd common transmission chains to start with infected individuals who hold jobs in the private sector and are connected with non-active alters, such as spouses, siblings, or elderly relatives. We use relational hyperevent models to assess the most likely homophily and network efects in the community transmission. We detect homophily with respect to age and anti-homophily with respect to sex and employability. We note that, although additional data would be welcomed to perform more in-depth network analyses, our fndings may help public authorities better target under-performing vaccination campaigns. occupation urban community spreading of disease covid-19 poklic urbano okolje širjenje bolezni pandemija true false true Nature Publishing Group Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-05-22 03:29:55 2024-07-15 09:45:53 2024-07-16 03:58:04 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 1-12 Št. članka 14115 Letn. 12 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2021-11-04 2022-08-10 2022-08-18 616-036.22 118908419 10.1038/s41598-022-18392-5 2045-2322 Hâncean-2022-Occupations_and_their_impact_on_t.pdf Hâncean-2022-Occupations_and_their_impact_on_t.pdf 1 951CD0228DEB9043FB16B2CF2A77B0E1 698edfbc23edfbd9368dc5c8712c6f69e45391993ea1db32cb5d8674df0c89d9 18a2df9c-427e-11ef-99b3-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181467 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-18392-5 0 25ce8e76-427e-11ef-99b3-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181468 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko 0 0 0
