7/19—Assessing the impact of coordinated COVID-19 exit strategies across Europe
Health Surveillance and Response to SARS-CoV-2 Mass Testing in Health Workers of a Large Italian Hospital in Verona, Veneto
Work setting and occupation were both predictors of infection. The risk was higher in medical wards (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.9–3.9) and health services (OR 4.3, 95% CI 2.4–7.6), and lower in surgical wards and administration areas.
The Effect of Age on Mortality in Patients With COVID-19: A Meta-Analysis With 611,583 Subjects
Mortality was <1.1% in patients aged <50 years and it increased exponentially after that age in the 5 national registries. As expected, the highest mortality rate was observed in patients aged ≥80 years.
Climatic factors influence the spread of COVID-19 in Russia
The results show that temperature seasonality (29.2 ± 0.9%) has the highest contribution for COVID-19 transmission in the humid continental region. In comparison, the diurnal temperature range (26.8 ± 0.4%) and temperature seasonality (14.6 ± 0.8%) had the highest impacts in the sub-arctic region.
Assessing the impact of coordinated COVID-19 exit strategies across Europe
Synchronizing intermittent lockdowns across Europe meant half as many lockdown periods were required to end community transmission continent-wide.
Outcomes of COVID-19 Drive-through Screening at an Academic Military Medical Center
SARS-CoV-2 testing was performed for 734 (75.0%) patients, of which
258 (35.1%) were performed in-house and 476 (64.9%) were outsourced, with a median turnaround time of 25 hours (IQR 21-29) and 221 hours [9 days] (IQR 161-269), respectively.
