| Core Tip |
Prisons can be a reservoir for infectious diseases. Based on this premise, this study evaluated the epidemiology of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in prisons. A significant association was found in the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in foreigners compared to Italians, in particular those with at least one nervous system disorder. The SARS-CoV-2 incidence rate in prisoners is significantly lower than in the general population in Tuscany. In the prisoner cohort, screening and rapid access to health care for the immigrant population were critical to limiting virus transmission and subsequent morbidity and mortality in this vulnerable population. |
