Among frontline workers vs second-line workers: 9 [1.7%] vs 3 [0.4%]; P < .001; severe distress

Among workers in Wuhan vs Hubei outside Wuhan and outside Hubei: 96 [12.6%] vs 19 [7.2%] among

Those in Hubei outside Wuhan and 17 [7.2%] among those outside Hubei; P < .001) (Table 2).

[5.1%] vs 18 [5.5%]; P = .046), and insomnia (10 [1.0%] vs 2 [0.6%]; P = .02) but not distress
