Abstract

Low-skilled migrant workers (about fifth of Kuwait population) are vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 due to their crowded living conditions. Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 and seroprevalence was 21.0% and 38.1%, receptively among 525 migrant supermarket workers. Higher prevalence estimates are likely attributed to the workers' housing conditions where physical distancing opportunities are limited. © International Society of Travel Medicine 2020.
