Shengjie Lai,Shengjie Lai,Nick W. Ruktanonchai,Nick W. Ruktanonchai,Liangcai Zhou,Olivia Prosper,Wei Luo,Wei Luo,Jessica R. Floyd,Amy Wesolowski,Mauricio Santillana,Mauricio Santillana,Chi Zhang,Xiangjun Du,Hongjie Yu,Andrew J. Tatem +15 more
TL;DR: A model of the effects of different non-pharmaceutical interventions on the spread of COVID-19 in China suggests that a strategy involving the rapid implementation of a combination of interventions is most effective.

Wei Luo,Wei Luo,Maimuna S. Majumder,Maimuna S. Majumder,Dianbo Liu,Dianbo Liu,Canelle Poirier,Canelle Poirier,Kenneth D. Mandl,Kenneth D. Mandl,Marc Lipsitch,Mauricio Santillana,Mauricio Santillana +12 more
TL;DR: Examination of province-level variability of the basic reproductive numbers of COVID-19 across China finds that changes in weather alone will not necessarily lead to declines in CO VID-19 case counts without the implementation of extensive public health interventions.

Effect of non-pharmaceutical interventions for containing the COVID-19 outbreak: an observational and modelling study
Shengjie Lai,Nick W. Ruktanonchai,Liangcai Zhou,Olivia Prosper,Wei Luo,Jessica R. Floyd,Amy Wesolowski,Mauricio Santillana,Chi Zhang,Xiangjun Du,Hongjie Yu,Andrew J. Tatem +11 more
TL;DR: The NPIs deployed in China appear to be effectively containing the COVID-19 outbreak, but the efficacy of the different interventions varied, with the early case detection and contact reduction being the most effective.
Journal ArticleDOI
It’s a long, long walk: accessibility to hospitals, maternity and integrated health centers in Niger
TL;DR: The physical access of populations to health facilities within Niger with an emphasis on the effect of seasonal conditions and the implications of these conditions in terms of availability of adequate health services, provision of drugs and vaccinations is analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Environmental Factors on Transmission Rates of the COVID-19 Outbreak: An Initial Assessment in Two Spatial Scales
Canelle Poirier,Wei Luo,Wei Luo,Maimuna S. Majumder,Maimuna S. Majumder,Dianbo Liu,Dianbo Liu,Kenneth D. Mandl,Kenneth D. Mandl,Todd A. Mooring,Mauricio Santillana,Mauricio Santillana +11 more
TL;DR: Examination of the spatial variability of the basic reproductive numbers of COVID-19 across provinces and cities in China shows that environmental variables alone cannot explain this variability, and suggests that changes in weather will not necessarily lead to declines in case counts without the implementation of drastic public health interventions.
