Vitamin D status and seroconversion for COVID-19 in UK healthcare workers
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a global health emergency, resulting in over 50 million infections and over 1.2 million deaths as of mid-November 2020 [1]. Healthcare workers are at a high risk of COVID-19 with large numbers of deaths reported around Europe and the UK, particularly among staff in the Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) demographic group [2]. COVID-19 has disproportionately affected BAME individuals even after accounting for age, sex, social deprivation and comorbidity [3].
