Positive association between outdoor air pollution and the incidence and severity of COVID-19. A review of the recent scientific evidences

Montse Marques et al.

Summary: Most studies suggest that chronic exposure to certain air pollutants may lead to more severe and deadly forms of COVID-19, delaying patient recovery. There is a significant association between chronic exposure to various outdoor air pollutants and the incidence/risk of COVID-19 cases, as well as the severity/mortality of the disease.

The Right to Accessible COVID-19 Testing in the Post-Epidemic Period under the Urban-Rural Integration: Haishu District, Ningbo City, China

Xianjun Liang et al.

Summary: The reasonable distribution of COVID-19 testing facilities is crucial to protecting public health and ensuring the normal functioning of society. However, current testing facilities in China are mostly located in large hospitals, neglecting the testing needs of rural residents. This study used shortest-path analysis and an improved potential model to evaluate the accessibility of current and potential testing facilities, considering the population demand index. The results showed that while the overall accessibility of testing facilities in Haishu District, Ningbo City was high, there were significant spatial differences. By maximizing the utilization of potential testing facilities, the accessibility of testing facilities improved significantly, alleviating the inequity in allocation. Leveraging existing medical facilities to expand testing facilities in rural areas can eliminate the resource distribution disparity and identify sources of COVID-19 in rural areas during the post-epidemic period.

Meteorological factors' effects on COVID-19 show seasonality and spatiality in Brazil

Caichun Yin et al.

Summary: The meteorological conditions, including temperature, humidity, and wind speed, have a significant impact on the transmission of COVID-19 in Brazil. Cold, dry, and windless conditions aggravate the spread of the virus, with humidity and temperature playing dominant roles in the process. The effects of meteorological conditions on COVID-19 transmission exhibit seasonal fluctuations and cluster in specific regions of Brazil.

Perspective: Vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 severity - plausibly linked by latitude, ethnicity, impacts on cytokines, ACE2 and thrombosis

J. M. Rhodes et al.

Summary: There is substantial evidence supporting a link between vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 severity, although the evidence is indirect. Community-based placebo-controlled trials of vitamin D supplementation may be challenging, but further evidence may come from large cohort studies with prescribing data or serum 25(OH) vitamin D level assays. In the meantime, vitamin D supplementation is strongly recommended for individuals at risk of deficiency.

SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 pathogenesis, and exposure to air pollution: What is the connection?

Brittany Woodby et al.

Summary: This review explores the potential molecular mechanisms by which exposure to air pollutants affects viral infections and COVID-19 pathogenesis. The authors suggest that pollutant exposure may impact various stages of the viral life cycle, leading to altered immune responses and increased susceptibility to disease.

The spread of COVID-19 virus through population density and wind in Turkey cities

Hamit Coskun et al.

Summary: The study found that population density and wind speed are important factors in the spread of the COVID-19 virus, while air temperature, humidity, number of sunny days, and air pollution do not have a significant impact on the number of cases. Population density mediates the effect of wind speed on the number of cases.

Independent association of meteorological characteristics with initial spread of Covid-19 in India

Hemant Kulkarni et al.

Summary: The study found that daily air temperature, wind speed, and nationwide lockdown measures are significantly associated with the basic reproduction rate (R-0) of COVID-19. The contribution of nationwide lockdown to the variability in R-0 is over three times stronger as compared to that of temperature and wind speed combined. Therefore, in India, rising temperatures and easing lockdown measures may lead to increased transmissibility of COVID-19.

Maryam Baniasad et al.

Summary: The study found that short-term exposure to pollutants has little impact on the COVID-19 transmission rate, but long-term exposure could potentially increase mortality. Mobility is closely related to COVID-19 transmission, reducing mobility can slow down the transmission rate. Contact tracing is an effective strategy for controlling the pandemic.

Felix Lelis da Silva et al.

Summary: Due to the high incidence of COVID-19 cases globally, WHO declared a Public Health Emergency and advised countries to combat the pandemic to prevent a collapse in local health systems. The study in Para evaluated the dynamics of new community cases and mortality records of COVID-19 after social distancing measures were implemented, showing a temporary reduction in new cases but possible spread during short periods of lockdown.

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.

Containment measures limit environmental effects on COVID-19 early outbreak dynamics

Gentile Francesco Ficetola et al.

Summary: The study found that environmental factors played a role in the early dynamics of the global COVID-19 outbreak, affecting its spread rate, but the impact of environmental factors weakened as containment actions were enforced. In the future, seasonal patterns of disease spread may emerge, with temperate regions at higher risk of severe outbreaks during colder months.

The impact of outdoor air pollution on COVID-19: a review of evidence from in vitro, animal, and human studies

Thomas Bourdrel et al.

Summary: Studies suggest that air pollution may contribute to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the specific links are still unclear. Epidemiological investigations have linked various air pollutants to COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, but there are limitations. Air pollution may increase COVID-19 severity and lethality through impacts on chronic diseases and immune response, facilitating viral penetration and replication. Further epidemiological studies and experimental research are needed to better understand the impact of air pollution on COVID-19.

The role of seasonality in the spread of COVID-19 pandemic

Xiaoyue Liu et al.

Summary: The transmission of COVID-19 is affected by seasonal factors, with higher infectivity and mortality in colder climates. The cold season in the Southern Hemisphere increases infections, while the warm season in the Northern Hemisphere decreases them. The study emphasizes the importance of considering seasonal factors when formulating intervention strategies.
