dc.description.abstract | As in other parts of the world, undocumented migrants in Italy suffer worse health status
due to their immigration enforcement situation and other vulnerabilities such as precarious illegal
jobs, exploitation and abuse or barriers to higher education, with higher prevalence of chronic
noncommunicable diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic, as other pandemics, has not affected everyone
equally. The undocumented was one of the most affected groups with regard to hospitalization rates
and mortality worldwide. Sicily is one of the gates of entrance to Europe for migrants and asylum
seekers from Africa and Asia. Herein, we described the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19
cases in Sicily to compare hospitalization rate and mortality between Italian nationals and foreigners.
We extracted data from the integrated national surveillance system established by the Italian National
Institute of Health (Istituto Superiore di Sanità, ISS) to collect information on all COVID-19 cases and
deaths in Sicily. We found that the hospitalization rates were higher in undocumented foreigners,
and they were most likely to present a more severe clinical outcome compared to Italian nationals.
Inclusive public health policies should take this population group into consideration to achieve the
Health for All goal. | es |
