A systematic review of asymptomatic infections with COVID-19

Zhiru Gao et al.

Summary: Since the outbreak of COVID-19 at the end of December 2019, it has caused significant harm and challenges to over 200 countries and regions worldwide. Many patients with COVID-19 are asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms, yet they can still spread the virus, making screening for asymptomatic infections difficult and complicating national prevention and control efforts.

The First 100 Days of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Control in Vietnam

Pham Quang Thai et al.

Summary: Vietnam has successfully controlled the spread of SARS-CoV-2 through early introduction of mass communication, meticulous contact tracing, strict quarantine, and international travel restrictions. The high proportion of asymptomatic and imported cases, along with evidence for substantial presymptomatic transmission, support the value of these interventions.

The temporal association of introducing and lifting non-pharmaceutical interventions with the time-varying reproduction number (R) of SARS-CoV-2: a modelling study across 131 countries

You Li et al.

Summary: The study shows that the introduction of NPIs such as school closure, workplace closure, public events ban, requirements to stay at home, and internal movement limits is associated with reduced transmission of SARS-CoV-2, while lifting these NPIs leads to an increase in transmission. The effect is delayed by 1-3 weeks, with a longer delay when lifting NPIs.

Effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions on COVID-19 transmission in 190 countries from 23 January to 13 April 2020

Yacong Bo et al.

Summary: The study shows that implementing mandatory mask, quarantine, distancing, and traffic restrictions can significantly reduce the reproduction number (Rt) of COVID-19. Social distancing and the simultaneous implementation of two or more NPIs appear to be associated with a greater decrease in the Rt of COVID-19.

COVID-19 effective reproduction number dropped during Spain's nationwide dropdown, then spiked at lower-incidence regions

Luis Santamaria et al.

Summary: The study shows the importance of lockdown measures in containing the spread of COVID-19 in Spain, as well as the necessity of maintaining strong social distancing measures and strengthening public health control during lockdown de-escalation.

Jacqueline Duhon et al.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the impact of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPI) as well as climatic, social, and demographic variables on the initial growth rate of COVID-19. Results showed that factors such as urban population, air pollution, life expectancy, hospital beds, and restrictions on international movement had significant effects on the initial growth rate of COVID-19.

Well-Being of Healthcare Workers and the General Public during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Vietnam: An Online Survey

Tuyen Dinh Hoang et al.

Summary: A study conducted in Vietnam examined the well-being of people after the COVID-19 lockdown measures were lifted, finding that factors such as healthy eating, exercise, working from home, and adherence to preventive measures were associated with higher well-being scores. Female participants and those worried about their relatives' health tended to have lower well-being scores.

Comparison of Estimated Effectiveness of Case-Based and Population-Based Interventions on COVID-19 Containment in Taiwan

Ta-Chou Ng et al.

Summary: The success in controlling COVID-19 in Taiwan in 2020 may be attributed to the combination of case-based and population-based interventions, as using either category of interventions alone would not have been sufficient. This highlights the importance of collaborative efforts between public health professionals and the general public in mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic.

Quang D. Pham et al.

Summary: Using an agent-based model, the study modeled the COVID-19 outbreak in Da Nang and estimated the infection risk associated with reopening international borders in Vietnam. Results showed that high levels of symptomatic testing could mitigate transmission, and strict compliance with mask-wearing policies could help control the epidemic.
