چکیده
Background: In March ۲۰۲۰, the world health organization declared the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease ۲۰۱۹ (COVID-۱۹) as a pandemic. COVID-۱۹ is a highly contagious disease. Kish is a touristic island that is located in the south of Iran. The aim of the present study was to investigate the epidemiology of COVID-۱۹ on Kish island. Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, the residents of Kish Island, Iran, who were checked with COVID-۱۹ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test from February to August ۲۰۲۰ were included. The PCR test was obtained from symptomatic individuals or those people who had exposure to suspected COVID-۱۹ cases. Data were collected from their medical records and analyzed based on their PCR test results. Results: A total of ۴۸۵۹ individuals were checked with COVID-۱۹ PCR test. The result was positive in ۱۲۵۱ (۲۵.۷۵%) cases and negative in ۳۶۰۸ (۷۴.۲۵%). The mean age was ۳۷.۳۲ years. The majority of the individuals were men. Most of the participants were office employees. The number of housewives was approximately double in COVID-۱۹ positive patients compared with the patients with negative results. About ۴۰% of the individuals with positive results had a history of exposure to suspected COVID-۱۹ cases. The prevalence of exposure to suspected COVID-۱۹ cases and recent travel was significantly higher among positive cases (P < ۰.۰۰۱). There was a significant correlation between the delay between the onset of the symptoms and performing PCR. Longer delays were seen among the deceased patients. Conclusion: It seems that more precise policies should be taken to avoid contact with symptomatic patients and people who had a history of travel to the island.کلیدواژه ها
