Manuel Serrano-Alarcon et al.

Summary: The study found that easing lockdown measures rapidly improves mental health, particularly for individuals with lower socioeconomic status.

Unequal impact of the COVID-19 crisis on minority ethnic groups: a framework for understanding and addressing inequalities

Srinivasa Vittal Katikireddi et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected minority ethnic groups, with inequalities arising through six pathways: differential exposure to the virus, vulnerability to infection/disease, health consequences, social consequences, effectiveness of control measures, and adverse consequences of control measures. Current research only partially understands these pathways, highlighting the need for further investigation into the complex interplay of social and biological factors in ethnic inequalities.

COVID-19 pandemic and population-level pregnancy and neonatal outcomes: a living systematic review and meta-analysis

Summary: The study suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic period may be associated with a reduction in preterm birth rates, but no significant change in stillbirth rates. Some single-center/health area studies found a decrease in preterm birth rates, while regional/national studies did not observe this phenomenon. Additionally, birthweight increased during the pandemic period, but there was also a slight increase in the risk of maternal mortality.
