During phase 2 of the COVID-19 pandemic in a Mexican City, informal street vendors (cases) and formal employees (controls) were interviewed. A total of 82.6% of street vendors preferred to expose themselves to the coronavirus than to stop working, compared with 18.4% of formal employees (adjusted OR = 19.4, 95%CI: 4.6-81.7, p < 0.001). Street vendors had 7 times less fear of dying from coronavirus (adjusted OR = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.03-0.5, p = 0.005) and showed a 16-times greater lack of real concern for the increase in cases in their community than the formal employees (adjusted OR = 0.06, 95% CI: 0.01-0.3, p = 0.002). Street vendors were the group with the poorest adherence to household and work area containment measures that continued to be in contact with others. The corresponding authorities must plan specific strategies that allow street vendors to survive economically, while at the same time, protecting community health.
在墨西哥城 COVID-19 大流行的第二阶段，对非正式街头小贩（病例）和正式员工（对照）进行了采访。与 18.4%的正式员工（调整后的 OR = 19.4，95%CI：4.6-81.7，p < 0.001）相比，82.6%的街头小贩更愿意接触冠状病毒而不是停止工作。街头小贩对死于冠状病毒的恐惧程度低 7 倍（调整后的 OR = 0.14，95%CI：0.03-0.5，p = 0.005），对社区病例增加的实际关注程度比正式员工低 16 倍（调整后的 OR = 0.06，95%CI：0.01-0.3，p = 0.002）。街头小贩是最不遵守家庭和工作区域遏制措施的群体，他们仍在与他人接触。相应的当局必须制定具体的策略，使街头小贩能够在经济上生存，同时保护社区健康。
