TL;DR: This systematic review of mosquito and human behavior is used to quantify and estimate the public health impact of outdoor biting across Africa, with results suggesting a nearly 10% lower proportion of bites taken at the time when people are beneath LLINs since the year 2000.

TL;DR: The high volume of testing and the low number of deaths suggest that South Korea experienced a small epidemic relative to other countries, and caution is needed in attempting to replicate the South Korean response in populations with larger more geographically widespread epidemics where finding, testing, and isolating cases that are linked to clusters may be more difficult.

TL;DR: Given the likely global dose supply in 2021 (2 billion doses with a two-dose vaccine), it is found that a strategy in which doses are allocated to countries in proportion to their population size is close to optimal in averting deaths.

TL;DR: Aggregated indicators of case notifications and severity distributions are essential for monitoring an epidemic and a publicly available database with these indicators and information on control measures provides a useful source for exploring further research and policy planning for response to the COVID-19 epidemic.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a systematic scoping review of the published evidence to describe the landscape of research and identify evidence gaps concerning the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) among crisis-affected populations and informal settlements.
