Table 3. Potential exposure to macaque feces based on video-recorded task observation.
Proximity to macaques or macaque feces | Risk elevationc | Time observed | RR (95% CI) | ||||

Occupation | Not visiblea | Beyond 3ma | Within 3mb | Contactb | |||
Vendor | 0 | 16 | 3 | 0 | 4 | 95 min | Ref |
Janitor | 4 | 7 | 2 | 0 | 11 | 65 min | 1.78 (1.67–1.90) |
Park worker | 0 | 3 | 6 | 4 | 9 | 65 min | 2.84 (2.67–3.02) |
Task observation assessment for the three worker groups (vendor, janitor, and park worker) reveals variation in proximity to macaques and behaviors that elevate risk of potential exposure. Risk of a potential exposure event during the task observation is presented relative to the lowest exposure occupation (vendor).
a No exposure
b Exposure
c Exposure, defined as engagement in activities that generate aerosols and/or eating, drinking, or smoking without prior handwashing
