To describe the epidemiology of COVID-19 in French professional football players, and to compare the infection incidence with the general population across the first three waves.
During the 2020-2021 season, all professional football players (n = 1217) in the two primary French leagues underwent weekly testing for SARS-CoV-2 infection by nasopharyngeal PCR, in combination with rigorous infection control measures.
Among all players, 572 (47%) tested positive at least once, with no COVID-19-related death or hospital admission. Monthly incidence estimates in players ranged from 1486 to 6731 per 100,000 individuals, i.e. 2-17 times higher than incidence estimates in the general population in France during the study period.
Almost 50% of professional football players developed SARS-CoV-2 infection during the 2020-2021 season in France, with no severe complication.
描述法国职业足球运动员中 COVID-19 的流行病学特征,并比较前三个波次中职业足球运动员与普通人群的感染发病率。
在 2020-2021 赛季期间,法国两个主要足球联赛的所有职业足球运动员(n=1217)每周都接受 SARS-CoV-2 鼻咽 PCR 感染检测,同时还采取了严格的感染控制措施。
所有球员中,有 572 人(47%)至少检测呈阳性一次,没有 COVID-19 相关的死亡或住院病例。球员的每月感染发病率估计为每 100,000 人中有 1486 至 6731 例,即比研究期间法国普通人群的发病率高 2-17 倍。
在 2020-2021 赛季,法国近 50%的职业足球运动员感染了 SARS-CoV-2,且没有严重并发症。
