to Dec. 2022, during a period when China moved from having strict COVID-19 policies (‘zero-COVID’), to little-to-no intervention efforts. We found that after full exit from zero-COVID, the Omicron variant spread at a very high rate of 0.42/day, with a doubling time of 1.6 days,...
since the declaration of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID) pandemic, with elective surgery put on hold to concentrate intensive care resources to treat COVID as well as to protect patients who are waiting for relatively low risk surgery from exposure to potentially infected hospital environment....

Understanding which factors of globalization (i.e., social, economic, ...

These 17 contacts originated from four cases who used the app (figure), and all completed their quarantine period without testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, hence no public exposure event was prevented by the app during the study period. One or more of the following applied for all these 17 ...
MHD patients have a high risk of exposure to infections because most of them have been treated as in-center patients. It was not feasible for MHD patients to carry out social isolation rules to prevent exposure as they need to travel three times a week to the hemodialysis centers [2]. ...
However, banks will find it hard to move too far in reducing their exposure to risk given that governments and regulators are likely to expect them to actively support the economy through (in most countries, only partially guaranteed) lending programs and other help for customers. A similar...
