Ancestry Covid-19 Study: Occupation Differ in Covid-19 Testing and Positivity Rates

It’s been almost a year since the World Health Organization has declared the Covid-19 outbreak a global pandemic. Now, everyday life has been returning to normal, and people are busy with the daily schedule. The vaccination process of different age groups is underway to combat the virus, and efforts are being made to understand the virus and treat it effectively.

Seeing the virus, Ancestry has launched a Covid-19 study to explore environmental associations and potential genetics to the virus and its outcomes. Ancestry found that the preventive measures differ across populations, especially the workers working in different settings. People are working in different industries like construction, childcare, healthcare, and more revealed how Covid-19 testing rates, positivity rates, and exposure differed by occupation.


 

The reported reasons for testing vary from different occupations. Healthcare workers have reported higher rates of testing compared to different occupations, and the workplace can be a primary reason for getting tested. Healthcare workers said that Covid-19 exposure and symptoms could also be a reason for higher testing. People from other occupations were more likely to report peace of mind as a reason for getting tested.

There were more than 7,50,000 Ancestry customers who participated in the Covid-19 study. The study has examined behaviors and risk factors associated with virus outcomes and will continue their work to provide information on Covid-19. Ancestry also said that they would share research data with researchers who have qualified in organizations, including public health agencies, NGO, pharmaceutical, and academic research groups, to empower researchers and help provide information on Covid-10 at any cost.
