Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the characteristics of healthcare personnel (HCP) who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 from April 2020 to December 2021 to inform protective measures for this workforce.
  • Over 7,500 case-HCP were analyzed, revealing that a significant proportion of certified nursing assistants, medical assistants, and home healthcare workers identified as non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic, with many residing in areas of high social vulnerability.
  • Findings suggest that tailored infection prevention strategies should be developed according to HCP roles and social vulnerability to effectively reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

In plants, the GCN2 kinase () is the only known kinase for eIF2α.
