“…[1][2][3] Numerous seroprevalence studies have been conducted in the Latin American region, both population-based studies and studies focusing on specific populations (healthcare (HCW) or first-line workers, prison workers, indigenous populations, elderly populations, etc). [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The reported seroprevalence is highly heterogenous between studies (10,4% -68,1 %), varying by study population, characteristics of the COVID-19 epidemic at the time of sampling, and differences in sociodemographic factors. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Factors associated with increasing risk of seropositivity include ethnicity (indigenous or Afro-descent), presence of COVID-19 symptoms, past history of COVID-19 or close contacts, lower educational level, and working night shifts (for HCW) or in a prison.…”

[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Among these studies, a cross-sectional study in 2020 of 3,124 children aged 5 to 17 years in 10 Colombian cities reported highly variable seroprevalence ranging from 25.0% in Medellin to 63.9% in Guapi, the latter a coastal city with a high proportion of Afro-Colombians with the poorest living conditions.…”

“…Prisons can be epicentres of various infectious diseases due to a combination of risk factors favouring transmission, including barriers to implement social distancing related to overcrowding (Kinner et al , 2020). To date, many prisons have reported a high prevalence rate of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and overcrowding is associated with increased incidence rates of COVID-19 (Leibowitz et al , 2021; Duque et al , 2022; Kennedy et al , 2020; Kronfli et al , 2022; Silva et al , 2021). By 18 May 2021, 2,680 COVID-19 deaths were reported in US prisons (Hagan et al , 2020; The Marshall Project, 2021).…”
