The influence of temperature, humidity, and simulated sunlight on the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 in aerosols

Paul Dabisch et al.

Summary: This study found that temperature, simulated sunlight, and humidity are significant factors influencing the persistence of infectious SARS-CoV-2 in aerosols, with sunlight and temperature having a greater impact than humidity. The time needed for a 90% decrease in infectious virus varied from minutes to hours depending on environmental conditions, suggesting that the virus could remain infectious for extended periods under certain conditions.

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.

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.

Phylogenetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in Boston highlights the impact of superspreading events

Jacob E. Lemieux et al.

Summary: Analysis of 772 complete genomes of SARS-CoV-2 from early in the Boston-area epidemic shows multiple introductions of the virus, with two distinct superspreading events. One at a nursing facility resulted in rapid transmission and significant mortality, while the other at an international business conference led to sustained community transmission and widespread spread. The genetic variation generated by these events differed substantially, indicating varying transmission dynamics in superspreading events.

Warmer weather unlikely to reduce the COVID-19 transmission: An ecological study in 202 locations in 8 countries

Jinhua Pan et al.

Summary: The study found that meteorological factors (temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and UV radiation) were not significantly associated with the transmission capacity of COVID-19. Warmer weather alone does not seem likely to reduce the transmission of COVID-19.

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.

Meteorological factors and COVID-19 incidence in 190 countries: An observational study

Cui Guo et al.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 incidence is significantly associated with temperature, with higher temperatures leading to lower incidence rates. Relative humidity and wind speed have a weaker impact on incidence. The research suggests that the spread of COVID-19 may slow down in summer but increase in winter.

Reduction in mobility and COVID-19 transmission

Pierre Nouvellet et al.

Summary: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, countries around the world have used mobility data as an important proxy measure of social distancing to control the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. While there is a correlation between reduced mobility and decreased transmission, this relationship weakens over time as strict control measures are relaxed.

Spatio-temporal distribution characteristics and influencing factors of COVID-19 in China

Youliang Chen et al.

Summary: The spread of COVID-19 in China can be divided into five stages, mainly concentrated in non-Hubei provinces. Factors influencing the epidemic include temperature, rainfall, and relative humidity. Simulation results show that the improved SIR model can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of NPIs.

Human mobility and poverty as key drivers of COVID-19 transmission and control

Matan Yechezkel et al.

Summary: Applying heavy nationwide restrictions is effective in curbing COVID-19 transmission but has humanitarian and economic consequences. Analyzing cellphone mobility data can help identify transmission patterns and optimize strategies. Localized and temporal lockdowns are more effective in reducing mortality and morbidity compared to nationwide lockdowns.

Nonlinear modulation of COVID-19 transmission by climate conditions

Meng Gao et al.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 transmission is stronger under mildly warm and humid climate conditions, while extremely low or high temperature, or a dry climate weakens transmission. The nonlinear relationships between COVID-19 transmission and climate conditions suggest that seasonal climate variability may affect the spread and severity of COVID-19 infection.

Community lockdowns in social networks hardly mitigate epidemic spreading

Marko Gosak et al.

Summary: Research indicates that community lockdowns are effective only when links outside the communities are virtually completely sealed off, with targeted lockdowns yielding better results than random lockdowns. However, even with over 90% lockdown effectiveness, the peak of the infected curve decreases by only 20% and its onset is delayed by a factor of 1.5.

Temperature and population density influence SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the absence of nonpharmaceutical interventions

Thomas P. Smith et al.

Summary: Research has shown that factors such as temperature, humidity, ultraviolet radiation, and population density can impact the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Policy interventions and reductions in mobility are major predictors of COVID-19 transmission rates, while summer weather cannot substitute for mitigation policies.

Improving prediction of COVID-19 evolution by fusing epidemiological and mobility data

Santi Garcia-Cremades et al.

Summary: The article evaluates different models for the early prediction of the COVID-19 pandemic evolution, aiming to create a decision support system for policymakers. Various models, including artificial neural networks and statistically-based models, are considered, with several consensus strategies proposed to ensemble all models for better results. A multivariate model incorporating mobility data is suggested for forecasting trend changes in the 14-day CI, yielding highly accurate results in a real case study in Spain.

Socio-demographic and health factors drive the epidemic progression and should guide vaccination strategies for best COVID-19 containment

Rene Markovic et al.

Summary: A study on an epidemiological model in a social network suggests that factors such as individual health, age, and geographical location play vital roles in the spread and outcomes of epidemics. For COVID-19, prioritizing vaccination for elderly and high-risk groups is beneficial only when vaccine supply is high; otherwise, vaccinating healthy individuals first can achieve better epidemic outcomes.

Mobility network models of COVID-19 explain inequities and inform reopening

Serina Chang et al.

Summary: The study introduces a SEIR model that integrates fine-grained, dynamic mobility networks to simulate the spread of COVID-19 in the ten largest US metropolitan areas. By accurately fitting the real case trajectory, the model identifies the effectiveness of restricting maximum occupancy at locations for curbing infections and reveals the contributions of mobility-related mechanisms to higher infection rates among disadvantaged socioeconomic and racial groups.
