Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Finally, given the concentration of transmissions in the context of workplaces and their overlap with household density (3), vaccination at workplace and among subgroups with high rates of contact (i.e. essential workers) represents a potential prioritization strategy to mitigate transmissions, severe outcomes and VOC growth (9, 10) The limitations of these analyses include the use of ecological data, rather than individual-level data on income and occupation for this analysis; and the potential for differential SARS-CoV-2 testing across tertiles. Proportionally there has been less testing in lower-income neighbourhoods (3) resulting in the potential for underestimating both wild-type in VOC cases in economically marginalized communities. Restrictive intervention strategies have represented the foundation of most COVID-19 public health interventions. Given that VOCs rapidly spread in the same transmission networks as wild-type SARS-CoV-2, and their emergence during a period of intensive societal restrictions, suggests supportive measures in these communities are needed. Moving forward necessitates ensuring that public health measures avoid reinforcing underlying inequities by leveraging resource and service-based strategies to minimize the future spread of novel VOC and associated morbidity and mortality.
