Causal impact of masks, policies, behavior on early covid-19 pandemic in the US

Victor Chernozhukov et al.

Summary: The study suggests that policies and information on transmission risks significantly impact the growth rates of Covid-19 cases and deaths. Nationally mandating face masks for employees early in the pandemic could have reduced cases and deaths, while the effects of school closures remain uncertain. The research emphasizes the importance of considering both policies and individual behavioral responses in combating the pandemic.

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.

Assessing mandatory stay-at-home and business closure effects on the spread of COVID-19

Eran Bendavid et al.

Summary: The study found that implementing any NPIs led to significant reductions in case growth in most countries, but after accounting for other factors, there was no clear beneficial effect of more restrictive NPIs on case growth. Similar reductions in case growth may be achievable with less-restrictive interventions.

An evidence review of face masks against COVID-19

Jeremy Howard et al.

Summary: The science on public mask wearing to prevent COVID-19 transmission is rapidly evolving. Evidence suggests that wearing masks reduces the transmission of infected respiratory particles, especially when compliance is high. It is recommended to promote widespread use of face masks in public settings, along with existing hygiene practices, social distancing, and contact tracing strategies.

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.

Impacts of introducing and lifting nonpharmaceutical interventions on COVID-19 daily growth rate and compliance in the United States

Surya Singh et al.

Summary: The study found that implementing nonpharmaceutical interventions in US counties can reduce COVID-19 cases and decrease mobility, but lifting these measures may lead to short-term benefits of reduced outdoor activities. However, in the long term, counties may experience diminished health and mobility gains, and the impacts vary among different population characteristics.

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.

AI-assisted tracking of worldwide non-pharmaceutical interventions for COVID-19

Parthasarathy Suryanarayanan et al.

Summary: The global pandemic of COVID-19 has led to significant changes in societies around the world, prompting governments to implement non-pharmaceutical interventions to slow down the spread of the virus. The Worldwide Non-pharmaceutical Interventions Tracker for COVID-19 (WNTRAC) is a comprehensive dataset containing over 6,000 NPIs implemented globally, aimed at providing valuable information for policymakers, public health leaders, and researchers in efforts to control the spread of COVID-19.

Estimating the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions on the number of new infections with COVID-19 during the first epidemic wave

Nicolas Banholzer et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the effectiveness of seven non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) during the first epidemic wave, with bans of large gatherings found to be the most effective and stay-at-home orders and work-from-home orders the least effective.

Measuring the effect of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) on mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic using global mobility data

Berber T. Snoeijer et al.

Summary: Governmental Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) play a crucial role in controlling the spread of COVID-19 by reducing population mobility. Lockdown measures and limitations on public gatherings have the most significant impact on the scale and rate of mobility changes, while NPIs like school closures and shutdown of businesses are closely correlated in timing and occurrence.
