- summary: Ethics approval was granted by the Electronic community prescription records were used to record community exacerbation events and electronic hospital records similarly for hospital exacerbations. In this observational study a 38% increase in community managed exacerbation events during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 was seen compared to the same six-week period in 2019, as measured by primary care prescription records.

- summary: We find UK 'local lockdowns' of cities and small regions, focused on limiting how many people a household can interact with and in what settings, are effective in turning the tide on rising positive COVID-19 cases. We show that UK local lockdowns to contain virus outbreaks -covering one in four people by September 2020 -3 typically turn the tide on rising COVID-19 cases.

- date: 2020-06-12
- words: 10410
- flesch: 37
- summary: To quantify the influence of vehicle emission reduction on air quality before and during the COVID-19 outbreak, we set up a series of scenarios in the WRF-CMAQ modeling system with different turbulences in on-road emissions while other configurations remained the same as the BASE scenario. Here, we explored the relationship between local vehicle emissions and the winter haze in Beijing before and during the COVID-19 lockdown period based on an integrated analysis framework, which combines a real-time on-road emission inventory, in-situ air quality observations and a localized chemical transport modeling system.

- summary: When enquired about the activities during the lockdown, only 11% were occupied with hobbies whereas WHO advises engaging in regular exercising, daily chores, and hobbies during the present COVID-19 pandemic for mental health well-being (WHO, 2020). Financial loss due to quarantine created severe socioeconomic distress (Pellecchia et al, 2015) and was established to be a contributing factor for symptoms of mental health disorders, anger and anxiety (Mihashi et al, 2009) .

- summary: Our projections using current daily data on case counts until April 7 in India show that the lockdown, if implemented correctly in the end, has a high chance of reducing the number of COVID-19 cases in the short term and buy India invaluable time to prepare its healthcare and disease monitoring system. Objective: To study the short- and long-term impact of an initial 21-day lockdown on the total number of COVID-19 cases in India compared to other less severe non-pharmaceutical interventions using epidemiological forecasting models and Bayesian estimation algorithms; to compare effects of hypothetical durations of lockdown from an epidemiological perspective; to study alternative explanations for slower growth rate of the virus outbreak in India, including exploring the association of the number of cases and average monthly temperature; and finally, to outline the pivotal role of reliable and transparent data, reproducible data science methods, tools and products as we reopen the country and prepare for a post lock-down phase of the pandemic.

Furthermore, population heterogeneity may shorten the course of the outbreaks, because those with higher social engagement will also be the first to catch the infection.

- date: 2020-07-13
- words: 3325
- flesch: 40
- summary: As the lockdown is now being relaxed in many LMICs, in this paper, we have (1) conducted an epidemiology-based “options appraisal” of various available non-pharmacological intervention options that can be employed to safely lift the lockdowns (namely, sustained mitigation, zonal lockdown and rolling lockdown strategies), and (2) propose suitable application, pre-requisites, and inherent limitations for each measure. Transmission hotspots, or red zones are subject to strict lockdown measures than green zones, where very few or no new cases have been identified for several days.

- summary: Intriguingly, moderation results also suggest that the correlation or linkage between individual distress and couple relationship functioning may have strengthened as the lockdown progressed. Because the most direct evidence of lockdown effects on family relationships comes from participants' free-form reports of improvement and deterioration, we were interested in which qualitative themes were most and least likely to come from which participants.

Such policies impact air quality through, most notably, declined non-essential transportation and energy consumption (Le Quéré et al., 2020) .

- summary: We find that the lockdown reduces ambient noise significantly in the 1–10 Hz frequency range; because natural sources of seismic noise are not affected by the lockdown, the seismic signature of anthropic noise can be characterised with unprecedented clarity, by simply comparing the signal recorded before and after the lockdown.

- summary: Moreover, both qualitative and quantitative study findings suggested that greater frequency of calling family members during lockdown could strengthen social relationships and increase social empathy. Therefore, we posit that persons belonging to the LGBT community could suffer from increased stress during lockdown.

- flesch: 49
- summary: In all considered instances (i.e. parameter variations), it will not be possible to end lockdown 289 for the entire population for any longer than two weeks, as the number of infected individuals is then expected to quickly 290 overwhelm the health service following such a release. In conclusion, using an optimal control methodology, we have shown that a gradual staggered release of individuals out 362 of lockdown is recommended to ensure that health systems are not overwhelmed by a surge in infected individuals.

- summary: This is especially paramount as the number of cases beyond 365 days, although considerably lower than the initial peaks, still ranges from 6.51-513.21 cases per day for GRES strategies (Supplementary Table 3a ) and 4.94-90.03 for long term social distancing strategies (Supplementary Table 3b ) with the ongoing risk of secondary case spread from imported cases. The implementation of social distancing measures in Singapore has been progressive from 10 March with the rollout of gradually stricter recommendations and regulations [5] , leading to the implementation of a 'circuit breaker' [6] , or lockdown, on 7 April 2020 in response to rising autochthonous cases.

- summary: The industrial sector experienced a drop in electricity consumption from 2.02 MW to 1.41 MW while the residential sector experienced an increase in electricity consumption from 3.72 MW to 3.87 MW. From the data, it was also observed that there was an increase in total electricity consumption in the three weeks preceding the lockdown (under the business as usual scenario) from 3.37 MW through to 3.50 MW at the end of the third week. The study revealed that aside government announcement of the lockdown, certain social practices triggered changes in electricity consumption and use leading to momentary energy transition.
