"Between October 27, 2020 and October 2, 2022, 175,688 cases were matched with
43,922 controls. An increased risk of infection was documented throughout the
study for open-space offices compared to offices without open space (OR range
across the nine periods: 1.12 to 1.57) and long-distance trains (1.25 to 1.88),
and during most of the study for convenience stores (OR range in the periods
with increased risk: 1.15 to 1.44), take-away delivery (1.07 to 1.28),
car-pooling with relatives (1.09 to 1.68), taxis (1.08 to 1.89), airplanes
(1.20 to 1.78), concerts (1.31 to 2.09) and night-clubs (1.45 to 2.95). No
increase in transmission was associated with short-distance shared transport,
car-pooling booked over platforms, markets, supermarkets and malls,
hairdressers, museums, movie theatres, outdoor sports, and swimming pools. The
increased risk of infection in bars and restaurants was no longer present in
restaurants after reopening in June 2021. It persisted in bars only among those
aged under 40 years.
Conclusion
Closed settings in which people are less likely to wear masks were most
affected by SARS-CoV-2 transmission and should be the focus of air quality
improvement."
