Three different employee groups (train attendants, train drivers and maintenance workers) within the workforce of the German railway carrier Deutsche Bahn Fernverkehr AG were studied based on their contact frequency with passengers and colleagues. Approximately 1100 employees were tested by PCR for acute infections and by antibody detection for past infections in June 2020, October 2020 and February 2021. Cumulative incidence (acute and past infections) after the third (final) test series in February 2021 was 8.5% (95% interval CI 6.8\u201310.4): 8.5% (95% CI 6.2\u201311.2) for train attendants, 5.5% (95% CI 2.9\u20139.5) for train drivers and 11.8% (95% CI 7.6\u201317.2) for maintenance workers. Between June 2020 and October 2020, the incidence was 1.2% (95% CI 0.6\u20132.3): 1.2% (95% CI 0.4\u20132.7) for train attendants, 1.1% (95% CI 0.1\u20133.9) for train drivers and 1.4% (95% CI 0.17\u20135.10) for maintenance workers. Between October 2020 and February 2021, it was 5.1% (95% CI 3.6\u20136.8): 5.2% (95% CI 3.3\u20137.8) for train attendants, 1.6% (95% CI 0.3\u20134.5) for train drivers and 8.8% (95% CI 4.9\u201314.3) for maintenance workers. Thus, contrary to expectation our exploratory data did not show train attendants to be at the highest risk of SARS-CoV-2 infections among the employee groups. In line with expectations, train drivers, representing the low contact group, seemed at lowest occupational risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s095026882200070x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,20]],"date-time":"2022-04-20T03:24:17Z","timestamp":1650425057000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Longitudinal study of SARS-CoV-2 infections in different employee groups of long distance train services from June 2020 until February 2021 in Germany"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"150","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2252-9557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"HyoungJin","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1249-1145","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert","family":"Schultz-Heienbrok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Markus","family":"Uhle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jenni","family":"Neubert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabian","family":"Ball","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthes","family":"Metz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Gravert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"S095026882200070X_ref11","unstructured":"11.
