Estimating the impact of school closures on the COVID-19 dynamics in 74 countries: A modelling analysis.
PLoS Med
January 2025
School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
Background: School closures have been a prominent component of the global Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) response. However, their effect on viral transmission, COVID-19 mortality and health care system pressure remains incompletely understood, as traditional observational studies fall short in assessing such population-level impacts.
Methods And Findings: We used a mathematical model to simulate the COVID-19 epidemics of 74 countries, incorporating observed data from 2020 to 2022 and historical school closure timelines.
Beyond COVID-19, the case for collecting, analysing and using sex-disaggregated data and gendered data to inform outbreak response: a scoping review.

PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCIES, UNICEF, Kinshasa, Congo (the Democratic Republic of the).
Introduction: Understanding sex and gender differences during outbreaks is critical to delivering an effective response. Although recommendations and minimum requirements exist, the incorporation of sex-disaggregated data and gender analysis into outbreak analytics and response for informed decision-making remains infrequent. A scoping review was conducted to provide an overview of the extent of sex-disaggregated data and gender analysis in outbreak response within low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

State Public Health Laboratory, Zapopan 45170, Jalisco, Mexico.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic profoundly disrupted the epidemiology of respiratory viruses, driven primarily by widespread non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as social distancing and masking. This eight-year retrospective study examines the seasonal patterns and incidence of influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and other respiratory viruses across pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic phases in Jalisco, Mexico. Weekly case counts were analyzed using an interrupted time series (ITS) model, segmenting the timeline into these three distinct phases.

Background: The onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak caused major interruptions to the entire healthcare network affecting referral, diagnosis and treatment pathways with the potential to affect cancer treatment outcomes. In Ireland a national lockdown was initiated in March 2020 involving a stay-at-home order with a limitation on travel, social interactions and closure of schools, universities and childcare facilities. We designed a retrospective study comparing treatment outcomes for patients with oropharyngeal cancer treated before and during the COVID pandemic.

Malawi HIV Implementation Scientist Training Program, Lilongwe, Malawi.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the Malawi Government released a policy that promoted the scale-up of six-monthly multi-month dispensing (6-MMD) of antiretroviral therapy (ART) to people living with HIV in order to decrease congestion at health facilities and transmission of COVID-19. We evaluated the barriers and facilitators to implementing the scale-up of 6-MMD.We conducted a cross-sectional study and collected quantitative and qualitative data from 13 January 2022 to 5 February 2022 at two high-volume primary health facilities in urban Blantyre, Malawi.
