Results: among 70,512 migrants (91% males and 9% females, all <60years old) who landed in italy during the observation period, 2,861 tested positive, with an incidence rate of 40.6 (39.1-42.1) cases per 1,000. in the same period, an incidence rate of 177.6 (177.5-177.8) has been recorded in the resident population, with an ir of 0.22 (0.22-0.23). 89.9% of cases were males and almost half (49.6%) belonged to the age group 25- 39years old. 99% of cases reported no symptoms, no relevant comorbidity has been reported and no cases have been hospitalized. conclusions: our findings clearly highlight the low rate of sars-cov-2 infection in migrants reaching italy by sea with an incidence rate that is roughly a quarter of that of the resident population, encouraging the opportunity to investigate the reasons for such an observation. moreover, our study confirms the ‘‘healthy migrant effect’’ in migrants reaching italy by sea. key messages: � irregular migrants arriving in italy did not increase the covid-19 burden in the country, thus alarmism is not justified. further studies are needed to investigate the reasons for the lower incidence observed
