“…These included 16 empirical studies, 15–30 including 8 case studies, 23–30 and 1 review. 31 The evidence base was generally low in quality with many studies having a high risk of bias based on study design and methodology. Tables 2 and 3 provide summaries of included studies and study characteristics respectively.…”

“…For many primary care settings, the transition to telehealth occurred rapidly, aided by legislative changes in response to the pandemic. 19 , 20 , 22 , 25 , 28 , 31 In the United States, for example, the temporary easing by most states of regulations governing telehealth licensing and reimbursement requirements for health care providers accelerated its adoption and expansion. 25 , 28 , 31 Similar payment mechanisms were provided in the Netherlands, France, and Belgium to promote telehealth services.…”

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the diversion of health resources away from routine primary care delivery. This disruption of health services has necessitated new approaches to providing care to ensure continuity. Objectives To summarize changes to the provision of routine primary care services during the pandemic. Methods Rapid literature review using PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and Cochrane. Eligible studies were based in primary care and described practice-level changes in the provision of routine care in response to COVID-19. Relevant data addressing changes to routine primary care delivery, impact on primary care functions and challenges experienced in adjusting to new approaches to providing care, were obtained from included studies. A narrative summary was guided by Burns et al.’s framework for primary care provision in disasters. Results Seventeen of 1,699 identified papers were included. Studies reported on telehealth use and public health measures to maintain safe access to routine primary care, including providing COVID-19 screening, and establishing dedicated care pathways for non-COVID and COVID-related issues. Acute and urgent care were prioritized, causing disruptions to chronic disease management and preventive care. Challenges included telehealth use including disparities in access and practical difficulties in assessing patients, personal protective equipment shortages, and financial solvency of medical practices. Conclusions Substantial disruptions to routine primary care occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Primary care practices’ rapid adaptation, often with limited resources and support, demonstrates agility and innovative capacity. Findings underscore the need for timely guidance and support from authorities to optimize the provision of comprehensive routine care during pandemics.

“…In some countries, such as Brazil, the UK and the USA, policy responses were widely criticized for being inadequate and blamed for high numbers of deaths. By contrast, the rapid and comprehensive political response in countries such as Denmark, New Zealand and Vietnam appears to have mitigated the severity (Hinchman et al , 2020; Potter, 2020). While empirically measuring the relationships between the lockdown response and incidence rates is tricky (Hale et al , 2020), political choices about the degree of social distancing measures do appear to have influenced the severity of the virus (Thu et al , 2020).…”

Five steps towards a global reset: lessons from COVID-19

COVID-19 has stimulated calls for a ‘global reset’ to address major global challenges and ‘build back better’. This Intelligence Briefing makes the case that the experience of COVID-19 itself, particularly the way it reverberated across multiple systems, shines light on the vital steps needed to advance a global reset. It brings together the evidence that the causes, severity and effects of COVID-19 cut across multiple interconnected systems, notably environmental, health, political, social, economic and food systems, as did the responses to it. All of these systems affected each other: responses implemented to address problems in one system inevitably led to effects on others. This Intelligence Briefing uses this evidence to identify five practical steps needed to advance a global reset. First, train systems leaders. Second, employ a new cadre of ‘systems connectors’. Third, identify solutions across systems. Fourth, manage trade-offs for the long and short term. Fifth, kick-start system redesign for co-benefits. Implementing these steps will be extraordinarily challenging, especially given the short-term imperative to ‘bounce back’. But for any business, organization, government or United Nations agency serious about addressing long-term sustainability challenges, the opportunity is there to use these five practical actions to press the global reset button.

“…Early detection of infection via mass-screenings of societies is paramount in curtailing viral spread as mounting evidences suggest spread of infections by asymptomatic individuals (F et al 2020; Hogan et al 2021 ). Such information is also pivotal for defining effective public health policies ( Hinchman et al 2020 ). Several methods are being developed for detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection.…”
