Abstract: Household contact is a significant channel of transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).1 Transmission of the virus can occur within the household after infection in the workplace.2 Moreover, racial disparities have been identified as a risk for occupational exposure to COVID-19.3 Identifying those at higher risk of contracting COVID-19 through household and occupational exposure is important for public health awareness and policy, as well as for understanding racial and ethnic disparities in infection rates and outcomes.4 We sought to identify racial/ethnic categories associated with living in a household with someone who continues to work a job with higher risk of COVID-19 infection.
