“…A considerable number of studies have recently been developed focusing on the demand side (i.e., users) response to the pandemic in terms of changes in travel behaviours and perceptions ( Beck and Hensher, 2020 , Bucsky, 2020 , De Vos, 2020 , Kim, 2021 ). For example, Beck and Hensher (2020) indicated that users are now extremely concerned about the level of hygiene on public transportation in comparison with prior to COVID-19 period, demonstrating a likely high aversion to public transport.…”

Over the past few months, transit agencies across Canada have been rushed to implement a range of strategies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with no standardized guidelines to direct their efforts. This study explores the initial response of transit agencies serving the 25 most populous Canadian cities by understanding the distinct types of response measures implemented between March 1st and June 1st, 2020. It also explores to what extent information related to these measures was accessible and usable, and how transit agencies used social media to communicate their efforts to the public. To achieve these goals, a detailed review of Canadian transit agencies websites and social media accounts was performed. The findings suggest that larger transit agencies across Canada implemented the most measures to respond to COVID-19, but not necessarily provided the most accessible information regarding the measures. Overall, while all transit agencies reduced the offered service’s frequency and capacity and enhanced vehicle cleaning, the implementation of other physical and communication measures varied considerably between agencies. Information related to the number of COVID-19 cases within the workforce was least accessible across agencies. Transit agencies’ Twitter platforms were used more by larger agencies. While most of transit agencies tend to employ tweets that include some type of graphics, very few agencies employed videos and animations to communicate important information to the public. This paper provides transit planners and policymakers with comprehensive information regarding the initial response of Canadian transit agencies to maintain operations in such critical times.

“…This relieves some stress on the air transportation (e.g., congestion) resulting in reduced flight delays. To the best of our knowledge, this study is among a very few to estimate the product quality impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the airline industry ( Hotle and Mumbower, 2021 , Kim, 2021 , Monmousseau et al, 2020 ). Our results suggest that despite the economic fallout from the pandemic, a silver lining prevails—flights are departing and arriving closer to their scheduled time in greater numbers despite the COVID-19 shocks.…”

This paper examines the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on flight delays in the U.S. airline industry. Using daily data on COVID-19 cases and flight on-time performance, and controlling for product, carrier and market characteristics, we find that increases in reported COVID-19 cases are associated with reductions in both departure and arrival delays. Specifically, a standard deviation increase in COVID-19 cases reduces arrival delay by 1 min 42 s and departure delay by 2 min, on average. Our results suggest that despite the economic fallout from the pandemic, a silver lining emerges—flights are departing and arriving with less delay amid the pandemic.

“…In addition, there has been a significant increase in the number of oral and maxillofacial fracture patients per month related to alcohol-drinking during 2020 compared to 2019. Some studies revealed that interpersonal violence and intimate partner violence increased with changes in alcohol consumption habits [ 20 , 21 ]. Due to the restrictive measures, such as ban on business after 9 p.m. and ban on gatherings of more than five people, harmful alcohol consumption at home increased [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Background This study aimed to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on oral and maxillofacial fracture in Daegu by comparing the demographic data in 2019 and 2020, retrospectively. We collected data from all patients having trauma who visited the emergency room for oral and maxillofacial fractures. Methods This retrospective study was based on chart review of patients who visited the emergency department of Kyungpook National University Hospital in Daegu, South Korea from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020. We conducted a comparative study for patients who presented with maxillofacial fractures with occlusal instability during pre-COVID-19 era (2019) and COVID-19 era (2000) with demographics and pattern of injuries. Results After the outbreak of COVID-19, the number of monthly oral and maxillofacial fractures, especially sports-related oral and maxillofacial fractures, decreased significantly. Also, the number of alcohol-related fractures increased significantly. In addition, as the number of monthly confirmed cases of COVID-19 increases, the incidence of fracture among these cases tends to decrease. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the daily life in Korea. Identifying the characteristics of patients having trauma can provide a good lead to understand this long-lasting infectious disease and prepare for future outbreaks.
