The impact of COVID-19 lockdown on the air quality of Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia

Ismail Anil et al.

Summary: Since the identification of COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, the death toll and reported cases have been significant worldwide. Lockdown measures imposed in KSA between March and June 2020 have led to notable improvements in air quality, with a significant decrease in pollutants like NO2. This improvement could potentially reduce the impact of COVID-19, especially on vulnerable populations.

The Effects of Social Distancing on Electricity Demand Considering Temperature Dependency

Mohannad Alkhraijah et al.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of social distancing policies on the relationship between electricity demand and ambient temperature. Through a case study on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it was found that strict social distancing policies resulted in a stronger correlation between temperature and electricity demand, as well as a reduction in the response time of electricity demand to temperature changes. The results can be utilized by power system regulators and operators to improve energy policies and enhance forecast accuracy of electricity demands to ensure efficient and secure operation of the electric grid.

Lockdown induced night-time light dynamics during the COVID-19 epidemic in global megacities

Gang Xu et al.

Summary: The lockdown of cities during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a decrease in urban socioeconomic activities, with remotely sensed night-time light data showing overall reductions in NTL in global megacities. Asian cities experienced the most significant decrease, while European and African cities had more stable changes in NTL, with city centers darkening more than urban peripheries.

Pandemic Induced Changes in Economic Activity around African Protected Areas Captured through Night-Time Light Data

Anupam Anand et al.

Summary: Tourism, a key sector driving change in Africa, has been significantly affected by COVID-19 travel restrictions. Using night-time light data as a proxy, research found that 75% of protected areas experienced a decrease in economic activity due to the pandemic. Spatially explicit data analysis methods can help assess the extent of change, inform decision-making, and prioritize recovery efforts as countries discuss COVID-19 recovery plans.

Estimating local-scale domestic electricity energy consumption using demographic, nighttime light imagery and Twitter data

Yeran Sun et al.

Summary: This study utilized a new mixed approach to estimate electricity consumption, combining demographic, remote sensing, and social sensing data, and found that population combined with nighttime light intensity or tweet volume best explained electricity consumption. Domestic consumption was better explained than non-domestic, and the newly developed spatial regression model outperformed conventional models. The spatial regression model performed similarly to random forest models and lower than long shortterm memory models.

Investigation of the N-shaped environmental Kuznets curve for COVID-19 mitigation in the KSA

Abdussalam Aljadani et al.

Summary: Mitigation efforts for climate change and COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia have raised questions about policy supervision for achieving SDGs. The study explores the impact of COVID-19 on the Saudi economy and carbon emissions, finding that an oil price shock may guide macroeconomic management while oil rent could weaken the relationship between economic growth and environmental quality.

Inefficiency of SIR models in forecasting COVID-19 epidemic: a case study of Isfahan

Shiva Moein et al.

Summary: The multifaceted destructions caused by COVID-19 have been compared to World War II, creating ambiguity about the duration and spread of the pandemic. Governments, healthcare systems, and economic sectors are crucial to estimate the future of this disaster. While many investigators have used mathematical approaches like the SIR model to predict the outbreak of COVID-19, these models have limitations in accurately forecasting the long-term spread and pattern of the epidemic. More sophisticated modeling strategies and detailed knowledge of the disease are needed to predict the pandemic more accurately.

Sociodemographic determinants of COVID-19 incidence rates in Oman: Geospatial modelling using multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR)

Shawky Mansour et al.

Summary: The current COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly evolving into one of the most devastating public health crises in recent history. Research in Oman has found that the elderly population aged 65 and above, population density, hospital beds, and diabetes rates are significant determinants of COVID-19 incidence rates.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Electricity Consumption and Economic Growth in Romania

Georgeta Soava et al.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic growth and electricity consumption in Romania, finding a significant negative impact on both in the first half of 2020. Through a linear regression model, it was also discovered that non-household electricity consumption has a greater effect on GDP compared to domestic electricity consumption. The study suggests potential implications for optimizing energy and economic growth policies at both national and European levels in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Early estimates of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on GDP: a case study of Saudi Arabia

David Havrlant et al.

Summary: The study used an input-output framework to estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on different economic sectors and the overall GDP, with three scenarios designed to reflect the severity of the shock, its sectoral distribution, and the time needed for recovery, applied to the Saudi economy. The estimated negative impact on headline GDP in 2020 ranges from -4.8% to -9.8%, but government fiscal measures result in a positive effect with a real GDP growth of around 2.5%.

Quantifying Spatiotemporal Changes in Human Activities Induced by COVID-19 Pandemic Using Daily Nighttime Light Data

Ting Lan et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant changes in human activities and nighttime lights, and this study used daily NTL data to analyze the spatial variations and temporal dynamics of human activities during the pandemic. The results indicate that NTL changes are not directly correlated to confirmed cases, but rather reflect changes in human activities and epidemic prevention measures. Different cities showed different responses during the outbreak and recovery periods, highlighting the importance of monitoring human activities using NTL data during public health events.
