Modelling the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on COVID-19 transmission and healthcare demands in Cambodia: a scenario analysis

TLDR
This study assesses the impact of nonpharmaceutical interventions, specifically those aimed at reducing social contacts, for mitigation and suppression of COVID-19 epidemic scenarios in Cambodia.

Estimating the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on documented infections with COVID-19: A cross-country analysis

TLDR
This cross-country analysis provides early estimates regarding the impact of different NPIs for controlling the COVID-19 epidemic and are relevant for evaluating current health-policies.

Sensitivity analysis of the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions on COVID-19 in Europe

TLDR
While the considered NPIs have unarguably contributed to reduce virus spread, analysis reveals that their individual efficiency cannot be reliably quantified by the ICCRT model, provided mortality data up to early May.

Assessing the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) on the dynamics of COVID-19: A mathematical modelling study of the case of Ethiopia

TLDR
A modified Susceptible Exposed Infected and Recovered (SEIR) model is proposed to predict the number of COVID-19 cases at different stages of the disease under the implementation of NPIs with different adherence levels in both urban and rural settings of Ethiopia and reveals that the projected number of hospital cases is higher than the Ethiopian health system capacity during the peak time.

Impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions for reducing transmission of COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol

TLDR
This study aims to measure the impact of major NPIs (social distancing, social isolation and quarantine) on reducing COVID-19 transmission by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis research of both randomised and non-randomised controlled trials.

Impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on documented cases of COVID-19

TLDR
This cross-country analysis provides early estimates regarding the impact of different NPIs for controlling the COVID-19 epidemic and are relevant for evaluating current health-policies.

Assessing the efficiency of COVID-19 NPIs in France: a retrospective study using a novel methodology

TLDR
All mrNPIs were moderately associated with a viral reproduction rate decrease but were associated neither with a decrease in COVID-19 daily hospitalizations, nor with COVID -19 daily ICU admissions.

Resource use in patients hospitalized with complicated skin and soft tissue infections in Europe and analysis of vulnerable groups: the REACH study

TLDR
Real-life data on factors that are expected to impact length of hospital stay are provided to guide clinical decision-making to improve outcomes, and reduce resource use in patients with cSSTI.

Estimates of the severity of COVID-19 disease

TLDR
These early estimates give an indication of the fatality ratio across the spectrum of COVID-19 disease and demonstrate a strong age-gradient in risk.

Early Transmission Dynamics in Wuhan, China, of Novel Coronavirus–Infected Pneumonia

TLDR
There is evidence that human-to-human transmission has occurred among close contacts since the middle of December 2019 and considerable efforts to reduce transmission will be required to control outbreaks if similar dynamics apply elsewhere.

Epidemiological characteristics of novel coronavirus infection: A statistical analysis of publicly available case data

TLDR
Estimating the actual number of COVID-19 cases in Hokkaido Prefecture and Sapporo City using data on cases diagnosed outside these areas provided insight into the possible scope of undetected transmission.

The effect of public health measures on the 1918 influenza pandemic in U.S. cities

TLDR
It is shown that city-specific per-capita excess mortality in 1918 was significantly correlated with 1917 per-Capita mortality, indicating some intrinsic variation in overall mortality, perhaps related to sociodemographic factors.

Strategies for mitigating an influenza pandemic

TLDR
It is found that border restrictions and/or internal travel restrictions are unlikely to delay spread by more than 2–3 weeks unless more than 99% effective, and vaccine stockpiled in advance of a pandemic could significantly reduce attack rates even if of low efficacy.

Strategies for containing an emerging influenza pandemic in Southeast Asia

TLDR
A simulation model of influenza transmission in Southeast Asia is used and it is shown that elimination of a nascent pandemic may be feasible using a combination of geographically targeted prophylaxis and social distancing measures, if the basic reproduction number of the new virus is below 1.8.

Modeling targeted layered containment of an influenza pandemic in the United States

TLDR
The simulations suggest that at the expected transmissibility of a pandemic strain, timely implementation of a combination of targeted household antiviral prophylaxis, and social distancing measures could substantially lower the illness attack rate before a highly efficacious vaccine could become available.

Pattern of early human-to-human transmission of Wuhan 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), December 2019 to January 2020

TLDR
Transmission characteristics appear to be of similar magnitude to severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and pandemic influenza, indicating a risk of global spread.
