Effectiveness of public health measures in reducing the incidence of covid-19, SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and covid-19 mortality: systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that several personal protective and social measures, including handwashing, mask wearing, and physical distancing are associated with reductions in the incidence covid-19 as mentioned in this paper.

Predicting intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine among the general population using the health belief model and the theory of planned behavior model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the intentions, motivators and barriers of the general public to vaccinate against COVID-19, using both the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model.

Effective public health measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19: a systematic review

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors conducted a systematic review to evaluate the implemented public health interventions to control the spread of the outbreak of COVID-19 and found that travel restrictions, borders measures, quarantine of travellers arriving from affected countries, city lockdown, restrictions of mass gathering, isolation and quarantine of confirmed cases and close contacts, social distancing measures, compulsory mask wearing, contact tracing and testing, school closures and personal protective equipment use among health workers were effective.

Climate affects global patterns of COVID-19 early outbreak dynamics

TL;DR: Covid-19 growth rates peaked in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere with mean temperature of ~5 C, and specific humidity of 4-6 g/m3 during the outbreak period, while they were lower both in warmer/wetter and colder/dryer regions.

Quantifying the impact of physical distance measures on the transmission of COVID-19 in the UK.

TL;DR: The physical distancing measures adopted by the UK public have substantially reduced contact levels and will likely lead to a substantial impact and a decline in cases in the coming weeks, but this projected decline in incidence will not occur immediately.

Effects of temperature and humidity on the daily new cases and new deaths of COVID-19 in 166 countries.

TL;DR: Preliminary evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic may be partially suppressed with temperature and humidity increases is provided, however, active measures must be taken to control the source of infection, block transmission and prevent further spread of CO VID-19.

Applying principles of behaviour change to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission.

TL;DR: It is argued that there is an urgent need for effective interventions to increase adherence to personal protective behaviours and it is possible to make a start by applying behavioural science methods and models.
