Broad Impacts of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic on Acute Respiratory Infections in China: An Observational Study

Zhong-Jie Li et al.

Summary: The study found that nonpharmaceutical interventions implemented during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced respiratory viral infections. However, lifting these interventions may lead to a resurgence of infections, especially among children.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus During the COVID-19 Pandemic Compared to Historic Levels: A Retrospective Cohort Study of a Health System

Naimisha Movva et al.

Summary: The research showed significant changes in the incidence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) respiratory infections in infants during COVID-19, with different patterns across various healthcare settings, and the emergence of interseasonal disease. It is important to continue monitoring the epidemiology of RSV to understand its impact on healthcare resources and public health policy.

During the COVID-19 pandemic where has respiratory syncytial virus gone?

Greta Di Mattia et al.

Summary: The diffusion of SARS-CoV-2 and restrictive measures have led to a significant reduction in the spread of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with few cases being detected globally. There is concern that the increase of an immunologically naive population could lead to greater RSV epidemics in the future, emphasizing the importance of preparing the scientific community and maintaining active surveillance for RSV.
