Access database connection in child thread

I have an application that uses worker_threads. When the application starts up, I create a connection to the database in the main project, then when I start a thread, is it possible to access that database connection without having to connect to the database in the child thread?

// main.database.ts
export abstract class SqlDatabase {
  private static db: Database;
  static connect(dbPath: string) {
    this.db = new Database(dbPath);
  }
  mutate(sql: string, ...parameters: string[]) {
    const stmt = SqlDatabase.db.prepare(sql);
  }
}


// files.database.ts
class FilesDatabase extends SqlDatabase {
  someFunction(){}
}
export const files = new FilesDatabase();


// index.ts
SqlDatabase.connect('/path/to/sqlite.db');

Then I have an action which starts up a Worker process:

export function runThread(file: string, args: { [key: string]: any; }) {
  return new Worker(path.resolve(__dirname, './worker.js'), {
    workerData: {
      aliasModule: file,
      ...args
    }
  });
}

In the worker process I have something like this:

import { files } from '../../database/files.database';
files.someFunction();

When running the process I get the following error message:

const stmt = SqlDatabase.db.prepare(sql);

Is there a way that I can get access to this database without having to make another connection in the child?
