    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).

    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    The major limitation of this study is that our series mostly represents the earliest wave of SARS-CoV-2imported infections into the country, primarily among individuals of mid to high SES status. In our cohort, most patients 68 (64%) had a recent history of international travel or were related to imported cases. As the Bogota epidemic achieved sustained community transmission, subsequent infection waves have affected more frontline workers and lower SES status individuals. This is not surprising given the high levels of social inequality in large LA cities,1 highlighting the importance of sustained local public health measures to reduce virus transmission and control the overall COVID-19 disease burden in the region.
