After adjusting for age, sex, number of pre-existing comorbidities, and socioeconomic status, we found at least doubled risks for occupations in theology and church work (HR\u2009=\u20093.05; 95% CI 1.93\u20134.82), occupations in healthcare (HR\u2009=\u20092.74; 95% CI 2.46\u20133.05), for bus and tram divers (HR\u2009=\u20092.46; 95% CI 2.04\u20132.97), occupations in meat processing (HR\u2009=\u20092.16; 95% CI 1.57\u20132.98), and professional drivers in passenger transport (e.g. taxi drivers) (HR\u2009=\u20092.00; 95% CI 1.59\u20132.51). In addition, occupations in property marketing and management, social workers, laboratory workers, occupations in personal care (e.g. hairdressers), occupations in housekeeping and occupations in gastronomy all had statistically significantly increased risks compared to the reference population (administrative workers).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We identified occupations with increased risks for hospitalization with COVID-19. For those having a doubled risk it can be assumed that COVID-19 diseases are predominantly occupationally related.
