Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has prompted Indonesian expatriates to return home. Travel history, including migrant repatriation, was thought to spread COVID-19. These factors increased COVID-19 transmission. This study examined the epidemiological, clinical, and occupational characteristics of migrant workers with COVID-19 at Udayana University Hospital. This descriptive study utilized a cross-sectional methodology. The research samples consisted of 97 migrant workers diagnosed with COVID-19 who had been treated at Udayana University Hospital between March to August of 2020, using the total sampling technique. The median age (IQR) of migrant workers is 30, and 84.53% are male. Before returning to Indonesia, many worked and visited the US (20.6%). 87.63% of respondents worked in hospitality sector, and mostly worked in 8–12-hour shifts. All respondents have insurance; most employers are provided with PPE and information regarding COVID-19 prevention. At the airport, COVID-19 screening revealed fever (70.6%) and cough (76.3%) as the most common symptoms. A 94.8% of migrant workers had no comorbidities, and 87.6% had normal chest X-rays. From this research, we discovered that amongst migrant workers, positive-COVID-19 results were mostly found in young, mobile men. Most of them worked for 8–12 hours per day, and majority worked in hospitality sector. Almost all of them did not have any comorbidities and the most common symptoms found were fever and cough. The findings suggest that male workers in their productive age with high mobility and working in the hospitality sector are at higher risk of infection.

Abstract

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-COV-2). The COVID-19's symptoms are fatigue, muscle pain, and psychological disorders. The purpose of this study was to describe the occupational characteristics and health conditions of COVID-19 patients who had recovered after being treated at Udayana University Hospital. This study is a descriptive study with a quantitative method and cross-sectional design. The research samples were 110 COVID-19 patients treated at Udayana University Hospital from June to August 2020 and taken using random sampling. The results showed that the highest proportion of respondents were aged between 24-44 years (44.5%), with almost equal proportions of women (50.1%) and men (49.09%). Most of them lived in Denpasar (46.36%). Most respondents work as private sector employees (24.55%), and 70% of them were using personal protective equipment (PPE) while working. Most respondents needed less than seven days to return to work after being declared "in recovery state” (60%), with the remaining 55.5% having a decreased work duration to be less than 8 hours per day. The proportion of respondents with comorbidities was 30.91%. As many as 27.27% were experiencing previously similar symptoms (fever, fatigue, cough) 4 to 5 months after being declared "cured.” COVID-19 patients who have recovered should be monitored for a longer period of time to evaluate the symptom reoccurrence and its impact on their occupational and health conditions.
