Home Sick with Coronavirus Symptoms: a National Study, April–May 2020 2020-09-10 .txt text/plain 1139 63 56 3 We compared the demographic characteristics, health insurance status, food insecurity, and prevalence of COVID-19 in their state of residence 4 (divided into quartiles), of those selecting this response to two other groups: (1) those working and (2) persons out-ofwork because of a non-coronavirus-related illness/ disability. We performed univariate logistic regressions to evaluate the association of each factor with being out-sick due to coronavirus symptoms relative to each comparator group. Our sample included 89,490 adults working the past week, 457 out-sick with coronavirus symptoms, and 3503 out-ofwork because of a non-coronavirus illness/disability. Minority race/ethnicity, low income, and residence in a state with high COVID prevalence were associated with work absence because of coronavirus symptoms in April-May 2020. This national-level evidence of the disparate impact of COVID-19 bolsters reports based on diagnoses from regions and hospital systems, 1 as well as our previous findings of an increase in illness-related work absence in April that disproportionately affected minorities. ./cache/cord-349099-s33nd9hz.txt ./txt/cord-349099-s33nd9hz.txt
