Quality of life and mental health in children and adolescents during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic: results of a two-wave nationwide population-based study

Ulrike Ravens-Sieberer et al.

Summary: The German COPSY study is a longitudinal study that examines the mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and adolescents. The study found that during the pandemic, the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children and adolescents decreased, and there was an increase in emotional problems, peer-related mental health problems, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and psychosomatic complaints. Socially disadvantaged children and children of mentally burdened parents were more at risk of impaired mental health, while female gender and older age were associated with fewer mental health problems. A positive family climate and social support supported the mental health of children and adolescents during the pandemic.

Effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 infection with the Delta (B.1.617.2) variant: second interim results of a living systematic review and meta-analysis, 1 January to 25 August 2021

Thomas Harder et al.

Summary: Research shows that COVID-19 vaccines are effective in preventing various degrees of infection, with efficacy rates of 63.1%, 75.7%, and 90.9% against asymptomatic infection, symptomatic infection, and hospitalization, respectively. Compared to the Alpha variant, the efficacy against mild outcomes is slightly reduced by 10-20%, but remains fully maintained against severe COVID-19.

The challenges of containing SARS-CoV-2 via test-trace-and-isolate

Sebastian Contreras et al.

Summary: Research shows that under challenges such as limited cooperation, missing contacts, and imperfect isolation, test-trace-and-isolate (TTI) strategies alone are insufficient to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2, highlighting the necessity of complementary measures such as social distancing and improved hygiene.

Isolation and Contact Tracing Can Tip the Scale to Containment of COVID-19 in Populations With Social Distancing

Mirjam E. Kretzschmar et al.

Summary: Social distancing and isolation measures are key in controlling the spread of COVID-19, but the presence of asymptomatic infections can impact the effectiveness of these measures. Research indicates that containment is less likely to be achieved solely through social distancing, while contact tracing and isolation are more effective in reducing transmission rates.

Safety and immunogenicity of one versus two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine BNT162b2 for patients with cancer: interim analysis of a prospective observational study

Leticia Monin et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the BNT162b2 vaccine in cancer patients. The results showed poor efficacy of a single vaccine dose in cancer patients, with significantly increased immunogenicity in solid cancer patients after a vaccine boost at day 21. Therefore, it is recommended to prioritize cancer patients for an early second dose on day 21.

Evaluating access to health and care services during lockdown by the COVID-19 survey in five UK national longitudinal studies

Constantin-Cristian Topriceanu et al.

Summary: The study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, women and individuals with chronic illnesses were significantly more affected by cancellations of surgical or medical appointments. Ethnic minorities and individuals with chronic illnesses required more care hours during the lockdown. Socioeconomic position was not associated with cancellation or care hours, and age was not independently associated with the outcomes.

Reduced sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 variant Delta to antibody neutralization

Delphine Planas et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617 Delta variant, first identified in India in 2020, has become dominant in some regions and is spreading to many countries. This variant shows resistance to certain monoclonal antibodies and antibodies in convalescent sera, as well as reduced neutralization by some COVID-19 vaccines. Administration of two doses of the vaccine is needed for a neutralizing response against the Delta variant.

Controlling the pandemic during the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination rollout

Joao Viana et al.

Summary: While there is a consensus that mass vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 will ultimately end the pandemic, it remains unclear when and which control measures can be relaxed during the rollout of vaccination programs. Research suggests that restarting socioeconomic activities urgently could trigger new pandemic waves, requiring substantial control efforts throughout 2021.

The role of communication transparency and organizational trust in publics' perceptions, attitudes and social distancing behaviour: A case study of the COVID-19 outbreak

Yeunjae Lee et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effectiveness of organizations' transparent communication in building public trust and encouraging health-protection behaviours during a pandemic, particularly the COVID-19 outbreak. Results show that information substantiality and participation of health institutes are key factors in increasing public trust, while accountability has no significant effects. Individual perceptions and attitudes towards social distancing predict their actual behaviour during the outbreak.
