Characterisation of the first 250 000 hospital admissions for COVID-19 in Brazil: a retrospective analysis of nationwide data

Otavio T. Ranzani et al.

Summary: A total of 254,288 patients with RT-qPCR-confirmed COVID-19 were admitted to hospitals in Brazil, with an overall in-hospital mortality rate of 38%, rising to 59% in ICU patients and 80% in those on ventilators.

The Impact of Changes in Diagnostic Testing Practices on Estimates of COVID-19 Transmission in the United States

Virginia E. Pitzer et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of diagnostic testing and reporting changes on estimates of the reproductive number of COVID-19, finding that changes in testing practices and reporting delays can result in biased estimates. Monitoring changes in testing practices and considering diagnostic testing and reporting processes are necessary for interpreting estimates of COVID-19's reproductive number.

Spatiotemporal pattern of COVID-19 spread in Brazil

Marcia C. Castro et al.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 in Brazil is spreading rapidly across municipalities with distinct spatial and temporal patterns of clustering, trajectories, and speed. Analysis shows that inadequate policy measures have led to high transmission and mortality burdens. The current surge in cases and deaths, along with the circulation of concerning variants, highlights the need for government to strengthen prevention and control measures.

Summary: The Corona SAo Caetano programme in Brazil provides primary care to residents with COVID-19, capturing standardized clinical data. Among suspected cases, most common symptoms of confirmed COVID-19 were cough, fatigue, myalgia, and headache. Fever, anosmia, and ageusia were strongly associated with positive COVID-19 diagnosis. Most patients recovered without hospitalization, with low fatality rates.

The effect of state-level social distancing policy stringency on mobility in the states of Brazil

Lorena G. Barberia et al.

Summary: Sub-national governments in Brazil played a crucial role in implementing non-pharmaceutical interventions to combat COVID-19, with significant heterogeneity in social distancing policy stringency observed across regions and weeks. Anti-contagion policies were found to increase adherence to staying at home even with relatively moderate social distancing measures, and a more comprehensive and coherent set of policies introduced and sustained by state governments had a greater impact on social distancing effectiveness.

The incidence and geographical spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil based on RT-PCR test results

Guilherme Loureiro Werneck et al.

Summary: The study found that in Rio de Janeiro, the positivity rate of SARS-CoV-2 testing decreased over time but was higher among males, Black, Brown, and indigenous people compared to Whites, with the rate increasing with age. The epidemic spread from the capital to inland regions, suggesting the virus continues to spread and reopening activities may worsen the situation.
