**Figure 3. SARS-CoV-2 Test Results of Healthcare Workers at a London Maternity Hospital**

**Test results by symptom status (A) and characteristics (B).** The IMD quintile was derived from postcode data using the IMD 2019 score, where 1 (least deprived) corresponds to an IMD score ≤8.49, and quintile 5 (most deprived) corresponds to an IMD score ≥34.17. IMD = Index of Multiple Deprivation; SARS-CoV-2 = severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2.

**Panel A: Symptom Status**
- A pie chart shows the distribution of SARS-CoV-2 test results among healthcare workers based on their symptom status.
  - **Symptomatic, SARS-CoV-2 positive:** 7%
  - **Asymptomatic, SARS-CoV-2 positive:** 7%
  - **SARS-CoV-2 negative:** 86%

**Panel B: Characteristics**
- A bar graph represents the percentage of SARS-CoV-2 positive cases among healthcare workers based on various characteristics.
  - **Male:** 16%
  - **Female:** 8%
  - **Aged < 50 years:** 20%
  - **Aged ≥ 50 years:** 17%
  - **Patient facing:** 19%
  - **No direct contact with patients:** 12%
  - **Quintile 5 (most deprived):** 23%
  - **Quintile 1 (least deprived):** 12%
