Subsidising the spread of COVID-19: Evidence from the UK'S Eat-Out-to-Help-Out Scheme*

Thiemo Fetzer

Summary: This paper documents the causal impact of a large-scale government subsidy in the UK, aimed at encouraging restaurant dining during the COVID-19 pandemic. The subsidy resulted in a notable increase in new infection clusters within a week of its implementation, followed by a deceleration in infections two weeks after the program ended. Additionally, areas with rainfall during lunch and dinner hours on the days the subsidy was active exhibited lower infection incidence, which is also reflected in mobility data.

Summary: A study on a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in a large school community in Santiago, Chile found that teachers were more affected and younger children were at higher risk for infection. Self-administered antibody testing was proven to be a suitable and rapid tool for assessment.

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.

Association of tiered restrictions and a second lockdown with COVID-19 deaths and hospital admissions in England: a modelling study

Nicholas G. Davies et al.

Summary: The study examined the impact of tiered restrictions and lockdown measures on SARS-CoV-2 transmission, hospital admissions, and deaths from COVID-19. Lockdown measures were found to be more effective in reducing cumulative deaths compared to less stringent restrictions. It was projected that a lockdown policy similar to Wales' would effectively reduce pressure on the health service and suppress deaths over the winter period in England.

Inferring the effectiveness of government interventions against COVID-19

Jan M. Brauner et al.

Summary: Research has found that closing educational institutions, limiting gathering sizes, and closing face-to-face businesses are effective nonpharmaceutical interventions in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, while the additional effect of stay-at-home orders is relatively small.

Early perceptions and behavioural responses during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional survey of UK adults

Christina Atchison et al.

Summary: The study found that the majority of respondents adopted at least one preventive measure, with social distancing measures more common among those over 70 years old. Individuals with the lowest household income were less likely to work from home and self-isolate, while the ability to self-isolate was also lower in minority ethnic groups.

The impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on SARS-CoV-2 transmission across 130 countries and territories

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: The study assessed the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) in reducing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in 130 countries and territories. It found that school closure and internal movement restrictions had a strong association with reduced transmission, while the effectiveness of other NPIs varied depending on specific conditions.

Recurrent deletions in the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein drive antibody escape

Kevin R. McCarthy et al.

Summary: The translation above discusses zoonotic pandemics caused by animal viruses spilling over into highly susceptible human populations, specifically focusing on the evolution of coronaviruses in human hosts and the impact of recurrent deletions in the spike glycoprotein on antibody epitopes. These studies help understand the antigenic evolution and adaptive evolution of SARS-CoV-2.

Understanding the effectiveness of government interventions against the resurgence of COVID-19 in Europe

Mrinank Sharma et al.

Summary: Research shows that in Europe's second wave, interventions such as business closures, educational institution closures, and gathering bans help reduce virus transmission, but with slightly less effectiveness compared to the first wave. This difference is attributed to the implementation of safety measures and individual protective behaviors in public life during the pandemic.

SARS-CoV-2 infection in schools in a northern French city: a retrospective serological cohort study in an area of high transmission, France, January to April 2020

Arnaud Fontanet et al.

Summary: The study conducted in schools in northern France suggests that children may play an important role in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, with viral circulation identified in many schools. Enhanced control measures and surveillance in schools are needed to reduce the risk of transmission.

Vaccination and non-pharmaceutical interventions for COVID-19: a mathematical modelling study

Sam Moore et al.

Summary: The study found that vaccination alone is insufficient to contain the outbreak. Even with an optimistic assumption that the vaccine can prevent 85% of infections, the reproduction number (R) is estimated to be 1.58 once all eligible adults have been offered both doses of the vaccine without non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs).

Assessing transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in England

Erik Volz et al.

Summary: Genetic and testing data from England indicate that the SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1.7 has a transmission advantage over other lineages, showing a rapid expansion during autumn 2020. Analysis of S gene target failures (SGTF) in community-based diagnostic PCR testing suggests that B.1.1.7 is more transmissible than non-variant of concern lineages and has a significant transmission advantage, with a reproduction number 50% to 100% higher. Additionally, cases of B.1.1.7 appear to include a larger share of under 20-year-olds compared to non-variant cases.

Resurgence of SARS-CoV-2: Detection by community viral surveillance

Steven Riley et al.

Summary: Monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in England using a national representative surveillance program based on self-administered swab results from over 594,000 individuals tested between May and the beginning of September 2020 revealed a decline followed by a resurgence in cases, indicative of a second wave. The study suggests that representative community sampling can provide valuable insights for public health responses, especially during periods of low prevalence.

Modelling the impact of the tier system on SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the UK between the first and second national lockdowns

Daniel J. Laydon et al.

Summary: This modelling study in the UK found that the tier system had varying effects on reducing transmission of COVID-19, with tiers 2 and 3 showing significant reductions in transmission rates. However, the study also highlighted that more stringent interventions similar to tier 3 are needed to effectively suppress transmission, especially with the presence of more transmissible variants.

Summary: This study used an agent-based network model to simulate virus transmission in schools, finding that transmission can be reduced with mitigation measures. However, detecting transmission may be difficult without regular testing due to the subclinical nature of most children's infections.

An examination of school reopening strategies during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

Alfonso Landeros et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has significantly impacted the education system in the United States, prompting the need to balance educational needs with public safety by reducing student contacts to lower infection rates. Our mathematical model predicts that reducing the number of contacts through cohorts has a larger impact on infections compared to lowering transmission rates per contact.

Changing composition of SARS-CoV-2 lineages and rise of Delta variant in England

Swapnil Mishra et al.

Summary: Since late March 2021, the percentage of non-B.1.1.7 variants has been increasing in London and other English regions, driven by a variety of lineages with immune escape. From mid-April, B.1.617.2 (WHO label Delta) spread rapidly, becoming the dominant variant in England by late May. The competition between variants and the rise of non-B.1.1.7 variants underscore the importance of diverse data sources in community surveillance for early detection of new variants.
