Exposures associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in France: A nationwide online case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to assess the role of different setting and activities in acquiring SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Methods

In this nationwide case-control study, cases were SARS-CoV-2 infected adults recruited between 27 October and 30 November 2020.
