A new report from the Economic and Social Research Institute has concluded that road transport drivers, care workers, security guards, and farmers are particularly vulnerable to the worst outcomes if they become infected with Covid-19.
It urges the State and private industry to design and implement innovative strategies to protect those workers who are most vulnerable to severe illness.
This ESRI report looks at three risk factors associated with those who get sickest and have the worst outcomes from Covid-19.It then digs into labour force survey data to see where the people with those risk characteristics are more likely to work.
