感染COVID-19的风险因职业而异。明确感染风险的职业差异对工作场所的疫情防控至关重要。7月下旬，在中国南京禄口国际机场工作的清洁工中确认了一些新的COVID-19病例。感染病例迅速增加，并在随后几天内蔓延到国内多个城市。本文追踪了南京市政府7月20日至8月2日公布的确诊病例的流行病学调查简报，并对这些病例的职业分布进行了描述性分析。在机场工作的清洁工和其他工作人员占所有病例的40%以上。绝大多数清洁病例在头7天内得到证实。目前的研究统计证实，机场清洁工是这次疫情的最初受害者和传播者。他们在个人和环境层面上都面临职业健康和安全方面的脆弱性，包括工作场所的危险、工作场所的安全政策以及缺乏认识和赋权。迫切需要有效保护基本工人和严格监督工作场所的职业健康。
The risk of contracting COVID-19 varies by occupation. Clarifying the occupational disparity in the infection risk is crucial to the prevention and control of the epidemic in the workplace. In late July, some new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed among cleaners working in Lukou International Airport in Nanjing, China. The infected cases rapidly increased and spread to many domestic cities in the following days. The present study traces the brief reports of epidemiological investigations among the confirmed cases released by the Nanjing government from 20 July to 2 August, and offers a descriptive analysis on the occupational distribution of these cases. Cleaners and other staff working in the airport were found to make up more than 40% of all cases. The overwhelming majority of the cleaner cases were confirmed in the first 7 days. The present study statistically ascertains that the airport cleaners were the initial sufferers and transmitters in this outbreak. They experienced occupational health and safety vulnerability on both individual and contextual levels, including workplace hazards, workplace safety policies, and lack of awareness and empowerment. Effective protection for essential workers and the strict surveillance of occupational health in the workplace is urgently needed.
