“…During the current pandemic, travellers onboard ships and flights are classified as individuals with high-risk exposure to COVID-19 [20,21]. On top of this, the complex specific health guidelines for crew members are particularly taxing [22].…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, evacuation and repatriation of nationals have been done by many countries. However, this has posed several socio-economic and public health issues that are worth exploring. This commentary, therefore, aims at exploring the impact of evacuation and repatriation amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Evacuation and repatriation helped to alleviate the psycho-social effects of the pandemic on foreign nationals, and also creates a sense of relief for host nations due to the reduced stress related to caring for a potentially larger number of people. It also contributed to the enhancement of the healthcare systems of several countries. However, evacuation and repatriation have contributed to the importation of the virus into various countries. It presents significant logistic and economic challenges as it requires trained personnel and equipment. Therefore, there is a need for proper planning, financing and supervision to avoid possible importation of the virus during the expedition. In addition, community awareness regarding returnees is essential to prevent social discrimination and stigma. Doi: 10.28991/SciMedJ-2021-03-SI-7 Full Text: PDF

“…Similarly, the mid-block is dominated by one community formed by keywords travel, effect, travel-restriction, spread, geographical, and china, this implies that the researchers studied the outcomes of geographical travel restrictions and had China as their case study ( Fang, Wang, & Yang, 2020 ). And the latter shows us that some publications covered the estimation of spread from people interaction with returning travelers from china ( Teherán et al, 2020 ). The degree of centrality values of the heaviest keywords also explains their significance and level of association with other keywords in the network, keyword travelers (15) is leading followed by keywords case (12), china (10), international (10), spread (9).…”

“…ACs transmit COVID-19 more efficiently than symptomatic patients for up to 21 days after the presumed date of infection [28,29]. This led to their inclusion in mathematical models intended to estimate the probability or expected number of person-to-person infections on repatriation trips from Wuhan, China [7,30]. Since then, ACs have become the target of mass screening in Asian and European countries effectively reducing economical losses due to unnecessary hospital care, controlling the spread in public or in-hospital settings, and allowing the execution of safe plans of social and work re-integration after quarantine and isolation [26,31–35].…”

Objective: Asymptomatic carriers (AC) of the new Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) represent an important source of spread for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Early diagnosis of these cases is a powerful tool to control the pandemic. Our objective was to characterize patients with AC status and identify associated sociodemographic factors. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design and the national database of daily occurrence of COVID-19, we characterized both socially and demographically all ACs. Additional Correspondence Analysis and Logistic Regression Model were performed to identify characteristics associated with AC state (OR, 95% CI). Results: 2338 ACs (11.8%; 95% CI, 11.3-12.2%) were identified, mainly in epidemiological week 18 [EW] (3.98; 3.24-4.90). Age ≤39 years (1.56; 1.42-1.72). Male sex (1.39; 1.26-1.53), cases imported from Argentina, Spain, Peru, Brazil, Costa Rica or Mexico (3.37; 1.47-7.71) and autochthonous cases (4.35 ; 2.12-8.93) increased the risk of identifying AC. We also identified groups of departments with moderate (3.68; 3.13-4.33) and strong (8.31; 6.10-7.46) association with AC. Discussion: Sociodemographic characteristics strongly associated with AC were identified, which may explain its epidemiological relevance and usefulness to optimize mass screening strategies and prevent person-to-person transmission.
