Socioeconomic patterns of covid-19 clusters in low-incidence city, hong kong

Abstract

Although coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreaks have been relatively well controlled in Hong Kong, containment remains challenging among socioeconomically disadvantaged persons. They are at higher risk for widespread COVID-19 transmission through sizable clustering, probably because of exposure to social settings in which existing mitigation policies had diff erential socioeconomic eff ects.
