“…Additionally, most of the participants for this study had been in home isolation, thereby indicating less severe COVID symptoms, which could also be related to lower rates of worry. However, this is an important finding which adds to the overall picture on COVID recovery, by representing patients who do not experience acute symptoms and therefore hospitalization, which is often the case in regions with limited medical resources and high viral caseloads (Bhadoria et al, 2020).…”

COVID-19 has affected people all over the world. For those who were infected by the virus, the repercussions go beyond immediate medical conditions to include social stigma, fear, uncertainty, and lifestyle changes. This study presents data collected as part of a mental health intervention (COVID Response) with individuals who had been diagnosed with coronavirus and had completed the minimum 14 days isolation period, in the city of Delhi, India. Through a survey conducted telephonically, participants self reported on six major mental health indicators: levels of worry, mood, lifestyle changes made through the phase of diagnosis and recovery, perceived discrimination faced due to the diagnosis, and the willingness to donate blood plasma. Descriptive findings show lower levels of worry than at the time of testing and diagnosis, positive mood states, and availability of social support. One Way Anova results further indicate that worry differed significantly across groups with differences in lifestyle changes, reported mood, availability of medical care, and the willingness to donate plasma. These findings contribute toward an informed understanding about recovery from coronavirus and sustainable coping with the pandemic, which can aid related health initiatives and evolving policy.

“…However, studies have shown that although the pathogenicity of Omicron has decreased, its transmissibility has increased, which will still affect people's work and life. Government departments in many countries suggest that these patients with mild or asymptomatic infection should be quarantined at home to isolate the transmission of the virus [16][17][18][19][20]. However, it is very important to determine the quarantine time based on the time virus turns negative.…”

Background. Patients are allowed to be released from quarantine after virus turns negative for asymptomatic or mild covid-19. Factors affecting the negative conversion of nucleic acid are unknown. Methods. This study included asymptomatic or mild covid-19 patients quarantined in Shanghai shelter hospital from April to May 2022. They were tested daily for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid. The clinical characteristics were collected. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to explore the relationship between clinical characteristics and the time of virus turning negative (TTN), finally a risk model was established. Results. A total of 7836 patients enrolled were divided into training or validation set randomly. In training set, age (≥40 Y), symptoms (yes) , diabetes (yes) and vaccination status(yes) were correlated with TTN. We used HR values of the above factors in multivariate Cox regression as risk coefficients to build a risk model for predicting TTN. TTN of patients with high risk score was longer than with low risk score. This risk model has been well validated in the validation set and the complete set. Conclusions. Our study found that age, symptoms, diabetes and vaccination status were correlated with the TTN,and we first build a risk model to predict TTN in asymptomatic or mild Covid-19.

“…The joint approach involves the following steps: designated hospitals receive patients; when the demand for healthcare in the designated hospitals increases significantly, epidemic-URCs are prepared in advance; when the healthcare capacity of the designated hospitals ap-proaches saturation and the epidemic remains unsuppressed, epidemic-URCs are activated quickly. Timely activation of the centralized isolation of epidemic-URCs can effectively suppress outbreaks [34].…”

This study utilizes the enclosed and stable environment of underground space for long-term sustainable planning for urban epidemics and disasters. Owing to the COVID-19 epidemic, cities require long-term epidemic–disaster management. Therefore, this study proposed a strategy for integrating multiple functions to plan a comprehensive Underground Resilience Core (URC). A planning and assessment methods of URC were proposed. With this methodology, epidemic- and disaster- URCs were integrated to construct a comprehensive-URC in underground spaces. The results show: (1) Epidemic-resilient URCs adopting a joint progressive approach with designated hospitals can rapidly suppress an epidemic outbreak. (2) The regularity of the morphology of underground spaces determines the area of the URC. Bar-shaped underground spaces have the potential for planning disaster-URCs. (3) The URC planning efficiency ranking is as follows: Bar shapes lead overall, T shapes are second under seismic resilience, and Cross shapes are second under epidemic resilience. (4) The potential analysis of planning a comprehensive-URC in the underground parking in Chinese cities showed that the recovery time can be advanced from 29% to 39% and the comprehensive resilience can be improved by 37.63%. The results of this study can serve as sustainable urban planning strategies and assessment tools for long-term epidemic–disaster management.
