Summary: This scoping review analyzed the prevalence, clinical characteristics, vaccine hesitancy rates, and government interventions related to COVID-19 in people experiencing homelessness (PEH). The study found that the symptomatic infection rate of COVID-19 in PEH is estimated at 35%, with cough and shortness of breath being the most common symptoms. Vaccine hesitancy is high among PEH due to concerns about vaccine trials, side effects, and mistrust of the government. Government interventions primarily focused on mass testing, healthcare adaptation, alternative housing provision, personal hygiene promotion, and inter-organizational communication.

Summary: This study analyzed global SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance and genomic data, finding significant variations in surveillance and sequencing capabilities among different countries. It also identified heterogeneity in sequencing percentage, sequencing technologies, turnaround time, and completeness of released metadata across regions and income groups. Moreover, it revealed a lack of proactive sharing of sequences related to variant of concerns (VOCs) in public repositories by some countries. Urgent actions are required to enhance timely and full sharing of sequences, standardize metadata files, and support countries with limited sequencing and bioinformatics capacity.

Summary: This study aims to describe the mobility of the homeless population during the COVID-19 health crisis and analyze its impact on COVID-19 prevalence. The findings show that homeless populations vary sociologically depending on their living conditions, with those living on the streets more likely to be relocated to emergency shelters. Certain neighborhoods attract homeless individuals while others see a decrease in population during the crisis, affecting virus circulation. The study provides unique information on the mobility and epidemiology of homeless individuals during the pandemic, highlighting the need for radical transformation in homeless policies to prevent infection.

The results showed that the protection against reinfection decreased over time for individuals who had previously been infected or vaccinated, but it was still higher than the protection conferred after the same time had elapsed since the second dose of vaccine among those who were previously uninfected. A single dose of vaccine after infection reinforced protection against reinfection.

Summary: The identification of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 in Botswana in November 2021 sparked concern due to the spike protein alterations that could potentially evade antibodies. Further studies showed that the Omicron sublineages, BA.1+R346K and BA.2, are antigenically similar to the wild-type virus and pose similar risks to the effectiveness of current vaccines. BA.2 also demonstrated resistance to many neutralizing monoclonal antibodies, highlighting the challenges in developing effective therapeutic options.

The highest and lowest seroprevalences were observed in Central and Southern Asia, as well as Eastern and South-eastern Asia. The study suggests that by mid-2021, the majority of the world's population remained highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
