Protection against SARS-CoV-2 after Covid-19 Vaccination and Previous Infection

Victoria Hall et al.

Summary: This study investigated the duration and effectiveness of immunity among healthcare workers in the United Kingdom. It found that two doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine provided high short-term protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection, but this protection significantly decreased after six months. However, infection-acquired immunity boosted by vaccination remained high, even more than one year after infection.

Incubation Period of COVID-19 Caused by Unique SARS-CoV-2 Strains A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Yu Wu et al.

Summary: The study suggests that SARS-CoV-2 has continuously evolved and mutated during the COVID-19 pandemic, giving rise to variants with different transmission capabilities and virulence. Identifying the incubation period of different variants is crucial in determining the isolation period.

The impact of contact tracing and testing on controlling COVID-19 outbreak without lockdown in Hong Kong: An observational study

Hsiang-Yu Yuan et al.

Summary: Maintaining effective contact tracing is crucial in controlling the COVID-19 outbreak. This study found that the probability and duration of confirmation delay in contact-traced cases increased with the rise in daily case number. Targeted testing for at-risk groups significantly reduced the proportion of confirmation delay and contributed to outbreak suppression. Monitoring and improving contact-tracing efficiency, along with social distancing interventions, can control outbreaks without lockdowns.

Duration of effectiveness of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease: results of a systematic review and meta-regression

Daniel R. Feikin et al.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the duration of protection provided by COVID-19 vaccines against various clinical outcomes. The findings indicate that the effectiveness or efficacy of the vaccines decreased from 1 to 6 months after full vaccination, but remained high against severe disease. Evaluating the effectiveness or efficacy of vaccines beyond 6 months is crucial for updating vaccine policies.

Why Contact Tracing Efforts Have Failed to Curb Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Transmission in Much of the United States

Eva Clark et al.

Summary: By late April 2020, the US shifted towards more targeted mitigation strategies, but many regions lacked robust testing-tracing programs, leading to major disease resurgences. Contact tracing is unlikely to be a comprehensive solution given the decentralized public health system in the US.

Impact of Public Health and Social Measures on the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States and Other Countries: Descriptive Analysis

Sophia Alison Zweig et al.

Summary: The study suggests that early, consistent, prolonged, and high adherence to public health and social measures are key factors in reducing COVID-19 transmission. National income positively correlates with cumulative COVID-19 incidence, indicating that wealth plays a less important role in controlling the pandemic compared to rapid, centralized, and consistent public health action.

Effectiveness of Contact Tracing for Viral Disease Mitigation and Suppression: Evidence-Based Review

Kelly Jean Thomas Craig et al.

Summary: Contact tracing is an important public health tool for controlling infectious disease outbreaks, but its effectiveness depends on various factors such as epidemic severity, number of contacts traced, timeliness, and compliance with interventions. While it shows some effectiveness in decreasing viral disease outcomes, logistical challenges arise in the face of larger outbreak sizes and faster spread of infection.

Modeling the effect of lockdown timing as a COVID-19 control measure in countries with differing social contacts

Tamer Oraby et al.

Summary: A stochastic continuous-time Markov chain model was developed to analyze the effects of lockdown timing during a pandemic, showing that well-timed lockdowns can effectively reduce peak incidence, extend the duration of the pandemic, and prevent overwhelming hospital capacity.

Simulation and prediction of spread of COVID-19 in The Republic of Serbia by SEAIHRDS model of disease transmission

Slavoljub Stanojevic et al.

Summary: In response to the pandemic, Serbia introduced anti-epidemic measures but later relaxed them, leading to a worsening situation. A mathematical model was developed to predict epidemic outcomes and simulate vaccination scenarios, showing that strict contact reduction measures are effective in controlling COVID-19. The potential for the disease to persist in the population emphasizes the importance of vaccination, with an 87% coverage potentially stopping virus circulation.

Measuring the scientific effectiveness of contact tracing: Evidence from a natural experiment

Thiemo Fetzer et al.

Summary: This study examines a large-scale natural experiment in England where a coding error led to a breakdown in contact tracing, resulting in more illness and death. Conservative estimates suggest that proper contact tracing following the data glitch was associated with a significant reduction in subsequent new infections and COVID-19-related deaths.
