the Office for national statistics, Britain’s estimated the number of victims in April, the worst month of the epidemic of coronavirus in the country. They divided the victims by gender, but also found the representatives of what professions are most at risk. It turned out that most from the coronavirus was dying men working in “low-skilled” jobs. The mortality of this category of people is several times higher than the corresponding figures in women or in men who work in the office. Scientists have found the explanation for this phenomenon.
Most dangerous profession during coronavirus – guard, writes Daily Mail. To such conclusion scientists from Britain are investigating the deaths COVID-19. They top the list of occupations that most often die during of the disease.
the Mortality rate among the guards two times higher than among other professions that do not require special education. For every 100,000 men-guards in Britain accounted for 45.7 deaths from the coronavirus. This figure is four times higher than the mortality of men as a population group.
After the guards on the list of most dangerous jobs are cleaners, drivers, factory workers and builders. The representatives of these professions, which the British researchers join the group of “unqualified” rating of death better than the guards, but is still sadly high. Of the 100 of thousands of people in these professions with victims of coronavirus steel 21,4 man, while among workers in “skilled” professions (such as lawyers and accountants) rating mortality is less than four times: 5.6 deaths per 100,000 people.
Among women, the mortality rate from coronavirus significantly lower than among men. But there is a very dangerous profession. First and foremost is the barbers (18,1 death per 100,000 people). They are followed by workers (15.6-inch) and nurses (12,7). In General, the mortality rate among all working women is at the level of 5.2 victims of the coronavirus in every 100 thousand people.
Scientists can’t definitively list all the reasons why mortality is at exactly this level, but the General pattern they could imagine. According to researchers, the so-called “low-skilled” work pose a risk for several reasons.
first, the representatives of these professions, as a rule, have much less money than workers in highly skilled professions. This is reflected in their standard of living and health status, and place of residence. According to the office for national statistics in the UK the vast majority of people in these professions live in densely populated urban areas and they often travel by public transport that��Iset the risk of infection.
second, the high mortality provokes and the specifics of the work. For example, during an outbreak, the guards often have to work even more, and constantly be in contact with people. Also constantly in contact with others cleaners, drivers and nurses are the specifics of their work lies in the fact that they can’t really isolate themselves, while the representatives of the “highly skilled” occupations may not leave the dwelling and to carry out their work remotely.
This information has stirred up the unions all over the country. Amid the release may 11 of a new plan for Johnson to release from quarantine the representatives of workers ‘ organizations need to ensure the safety of workers in all occupations. However, at the moment, the Prime Minister believes that the most difficult period has now passed, and in the future, mortality will decline, and among the representatives of all professions, regardless of their circumstances and income.
