TL;DR: In this article, a review of international travel-related control measures during the COVID-19 pandemic on infectious disease transmission and screening-related outcomes was carried out to assess the effectiveness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effects of non-pharmacological measures implemented in long-term care facilities to prevent or reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection among residents, staff, and visitors.

TL;DR: To assess the effectiveness of measures implemented in the school setting to safely reopen schools, or keep schools open, or both, during the COVID-19 pandemic, with particular focus on the different types of measures implementing in school settings and the outcomes used to measure their impacts on transmission-related outcomes, healthcare utilisation outcomes, other health outcomes as well as societal, economic, and ecological outcomes.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors established an individual-based model representative of a mental health hospital yielding generalizable results and concluded that active testing in mental health hospitals and similar facilities considerably reduces the number of COVID-19 outbreaks compared to symptom-based surveillance only.

TL;DR: This work proposes a two-dimensional profile likelihood approach, providing a design criterion which meaningfully represents the expected parameter uncertainty after measuring data for a specified experimental condition, and applies to, but is not limited to, models in systems biology.
