TL;DR: A low frequency of bacterial co-infection is found in early COVID hospital presentation, and no evidence of concomitant fungal infection is found, at least in the early phase of COVID-19.

TL;DR: A high proportion of concomitant STIs and frequent anogenital symptoms is found, suggesting transmissibility through local inoculation during close skin-to-skin or mucosal contact, during sexual activity.

TL;DR: Green et al. as mentioned in this paper reported the first case of infection with documented transmission through sex in the UK, where the receptive partner was the insertive partner during both anal and oro-anal sex and both individuals were commenced on high-dose oral antiviral and antibacterial medication and managed in the out-patient setting.

TL;DR: There was variation in test performance between the lateral flow serological assays; however, the Encode assay displayed reasonable IgG sensitivity and specificity among PCR-proven cases and good agreement with the laboratory immunoassay, and seroprevalence across the entire workforce was estimated at 18·0%.

TL;DR: The CovidNudge platform was a sensitive, specific, and rapid point of care test for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 without laboratory handling or sample pre-processing and could enable rapid decisions for clinical care and testing programmes.
