Background: The objective was to estimate risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in pregnancy and assess adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes.
Methods: We used a population-based, retrospective cohort of all pregnancies with a live birth or fetal death in Florida from 1 March 2020 to 30 April 2021. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case reports were matched to vital registries.
Article Synopsis
- An indoor convention held in NYC from November 19-21, 2021, attracted around 53,000 attendees and implemented safety measures including HEPA filtration, mandatory masks, and vaccination requirements.
- Following the event, the first community-acquired case of the Omicron variant in the U.S. was reported, leading to investigations by the CDC and health departments regarding potential COVID-19 transmission among attendees.
- Of 4,560 attendees tested, 119 (2.6%) tested positive for COVID-19, primarily showing a correlation between positive cases and attendance at certain venues like bars and nightclubs, but widespread transmission at the event was not confirmed.
After detection of cases of COVID-19 in Florida in March 2020, the governor declared a state of emergency on March 9,* and all school districts in the state suspended in-person instruction by March 20. Most kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) public and private schools in Florida reopened for in-person learning during August 2020, with varying options for remote learning offered by school districts. During August 10-December 21, 2020, a total of 63,654 COVID-19 cases were reported in school-aged children; an estimated 60% of these cases were not school-related.
