AB - ObjectivesAmong people receiving opioid-agonist treatment (OAT), the risk of COVID-19 infection and disease may be higher owing to underlying health problems and vulnerable social circumstances. We aimed to determine whether recent OAT, compared to past exposure, affected risk of (i) testing for SARS-CoV-2, (ii) testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 and (iii) being hospitalized/dying with COVID-19 disease.
